About Jill
Jill Hazzard is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 35 years of professional experience. She works with adults across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and adjustment to life changes.
Jill focuses on straightforward, respectful conversation. She listens to what is causing strain and helps people name practical steps forward. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, thinking about patterns that keep difficulties alive, and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Her approach draws on methods that help with thoughts, emotions, and everyday behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help when negative thinking fuels anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
She also uses client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities central, and solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals. Internal Family Systems is used to understand different parts of a person’s inner experience when that helps move things forward.
Jill has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, career stress, and neurodiversity-related questions like autism and ADHD. She also works with mood and personality disorder concerns and with parents facing postpartum challenges. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping adults make changes that fit their everyday lives.
How Jill’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. Online sessions can preserve that conversational style so the client sets the agenda and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new habits; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when delivered in regular sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals, current problems, and what feels helpful in session. That choice can change over time as people try strategies and notice what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work, or parenting by removing travel and allowing shorter transitions. They also let people join from different locations within the same state.
