You Don’t Have to Navigate Life’s Challenges Alone

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure of what comes next? Life transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and everyday stress can sometimes leave us feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected from ourselves. You don’t have to work through it alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Une’k Therapeutic Solutions, I bring over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life challenges. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and feel heard, respected, and understood.

Jilian LaGrippo

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Jilian a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience as a practicing clinician.

I offer telehealth psychotherapy for individuals of all ages who are navigating complex emotions, trauma, recovery, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.

I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, other mood disorders, addiction & recovery, ADHD, trauma, and crisis-related issues. I support fellow caregivers and helping professionals who need space to process their own pain. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy for clients navigating relationship challenges.

My experience in crisis intervention and emergency psychiatric care has given me a deep respect for the resilience it takes to keep going, even when things feel impossible. I aim to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment and begin to rewrite the stories that have kept you stuck.

Outside of therapy I’m passionate about music, tarot, astrology, animals, spirituality, and connecting with nature as forms of self-reflection and grounding.
