Jill Hazzard

Jill Hazzard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 35 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. She welcomes direct conversations about parenting strain, family conflict, intimacy concerns, grief, and trauma. Jill aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can start making small, practical changes.

Jill adapts sessions to each person’s needs and goals. She uses plain language and keeps plans simple so clients can try things between appointments. Over her career she has supported people working through mood disorders, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and eating or anger issues, and she also addresses family of origin patterns and blended family challenges.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused work. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand internal conflicts and shift unhelpful patterns.

Jill works from Florida and holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English. She asks people to consider what they want to change, then she helps them shape a clear, doable plan.

Many clients begin by focusing on immediate coping skills for stress and life transitions. From there Jill supports longer-term work on self-esteem, trauma recovery, parenting decisions, and relationship communication. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Jill's approaches can guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to name whats hard and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions, which can help with anger, mood swings, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill treats choosing a method as a collaborative process and will help clients try options that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts strategies as progress and needs become clearer so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how your meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when meetings happen remotely, and therapists can tailor homework and tools to suit that rhythm. Licensed professionals can help find an approach and schedule that work with your routine.
