About Jyl
Jyl Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. Parents who are struggling with the demands of caregiving or relationship strain will find clear, practical support. Jyl also works with people facing issues around self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care.
Jyl trained at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she earned a Bachelor of Social Work, and completed a Master of Social Work at Boise State University. She spent eleven years running her own practice, seeing individuals, couples, children, and families for a range of concerns. That background shaped a straightforward, team-based way of working.
Her approach centers on building a strong working relationship first. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. Then she pulls in practical methods from cognitive behavioral and attachment-based approaches to tackle problems step by step.
In sessions she prioritizes short-term tools and longer-term skills. Clients can expect to learn ways to manage strong emotions, improve communication, and set achievable goals. Jyl blends mindfulness practices with skill-building exercises when they fit the client’s needs.
She encourages people to treat therapy as collaborative work. Together they identify goals, try concrete strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. When someone wants coaching around life purpose, better self-love, or clearer communication, Jyl frames the process in simple, manageable steps.
