About Jerrilynn
Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and ADHD. Her work also includes areas like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues related to adoption and abandonment.
She encourages people to notice their own intuition and to question the stories they tell about past events. She describes many problems as rooted in stress responses, emotional trauma, learned messages from childhood, and unhelpful self-talk. In sessions she helps clients see how those patterns affect mood, behavior, and relationships.
Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-based methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based practices to help manage thoughts and emotions. Attachment-focused and client-centered ideas shape how she attends to relationship patterns and personal values.
Sessions often look at the source of recurring problems rather than only managing symptoms. That includes addressing codependency, shame cycles, and avoidance that keep someone repeating harmful behaviors. Practical skills for emotion regulation, boundary setting, and communication are part of the plan when useful.
She also helps people think through life areas beyond symptoms, such as career, finances, and relationships. To start, she asks about current struggles and priorities, then works collaboratively to set clear goals and small steps forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants to move past avoidance and engage in meaningful daily activities despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and for building practical coping skills.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions to partners and loved ones. These concepts can help people understand recurring conflict, boundary struggles, and intimacy challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust techniques over time. Clients and the therapist work together to find which combination of skills and insights feels most helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it possible to meet during a lunch break or between commitments. Talk with the therapist about scheduling preferences and practical needs when you complete the matching questionnaire.
