You're the one people call when things fall apart. You're good at it — steady, competent, the person who knows what to do. And somewhere along the way you stopped having anywhere to put your own stuff.

So you can run the meeting, hold the crisis, answer the phone at 2 a.m. — and still not be able to make yourself open the mail. Competence and collapse live together far more often than anyone admits out loud.

I work with adults carrying that particular load: substance use and recovery, emotions that arrive at full volume with no dimmer switch, thoughts of self-harm or not wanting to be here, and the specific erosion that comes from caring for other people for a living. Helpers, clinicians, parents, first responders — people whose exhaustion doesn't have an obvious place to go. I work with teenagers too, often the ones in families like these.

My style is direct, warm, and collaborative. I'm not going to nod quietly for fifty minutes. We'll find what's actually driving things, build skills you can use on a Tuesday afternoon when it counts, and I'll tell you honestly what I'm seeing. You set the pace. I'll bring the structure.

Julianne Kivlin

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are. Many of my clients are insightful, sensitive, and capable, yet struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, or relationship challenges. You may be used to caring for others, masking your needs, or pushing through instead of feeling supported. You’re looking for therapy that feels safe, real, and validating — not judgmental or distant — and you want to better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships.

I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy grounded in attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches. I work collaboratively to help clients understand emotional and relational patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and build self-trust and healthier connections. My practice is affirming of neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identities.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I offer a supportive, honest, and affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve therapy that feels human, safe, and respectful of who you are.

Hi, I'm Jessica and I love supporting youth and their families to bring out confidence and build healthy relationship patterns to support them as they grow in today's world. I have background in Expressive Arts Therapy and bring creative approaches including art, play, and drama therapy techniques as entry points into cognitive behavioral interventions and strategies to assist with behavior, emotion regulation, and understanding of one's self. My philosophical goal as a therapist is to help people I work with curate more joy into their lives and for children to be seen in their unique strengths and supported to grow through challenges. I believe that curiosity is the antidote to depression. Let's get curious together!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Connecticut

Searching for therapists in Connecticut starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists may vary by specialty, schedule, and session format. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Connecticut therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and background details that connect to your needs.

Location and access also matter when choosing a therapist in CT. If you live near Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, or a smaller town, you may weigh in-person appointments against virtual sessions based on your schedule and preferences. You can narrow your search by availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and what to expect in sessions.

The cost of mental health care in Connecticut can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapist profiles, confirm coverage for your plan and location, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
