I am an independently licensed social worker providing services and have been in private practice for the last year. I completed my Masters of Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa in 2005. My areas of expertise include lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and questioning concerns, post traumatic stress disorder and Veteran specific needs, depression, grief, anxiety, and addiction.
Much of my career has been dedicated to providing individual therapy and coordinating clinical programming in federal and non-profit settings. I rely heavily on a person-centered approach and finding internal motivators for change. I am blessed to have been mentored by wonderful people who helped me embrace the capacity for change and resilience. It is an amazing experience to help others improve the quality of their lives and build relationships. I believe in the capacity for healing and hope in every person, even in the most difficult circumstances.
The Addiction, Technology Transfer Network (ATTC) and the University of Iowa trained me in LGBTQ sensitivity for providers in 2009. I was also certified in Motivational Interviewing and Motivational Enhancement Therapy awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2012.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jill Lehmann-Bauer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was very cautious when starting this service, but Jill was so friendly and helpful. It seemed like we were in the same room together, which is tough to do online! Jill was incredibly helpful and provided insight that I needed to work through some of my everyday stressors. This is the first positive therapy experience I've had, and I'm so glad I was able to meet Jill!

Jill meets me where I am and comes with honesty and compassion. I felt completely comfortable and at ease to be open with her from the very beginning. She offers insight that is educated, professional, understanding, and positive. I've only been working with her for a short time, but I feel that I've made tremendous strides. I'm excited to continue my journey with Jill. She helps me to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
