About Jill
Jill Hazzard is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 35 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting worries, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and life changes.
Her approach centers on talking through the problems that come from the family people grew up in and how those patterns show up now. She uses straightforward methods to help people see the links between old roles and current choices. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
Jill draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotional regulation and coping when feelings feel intense.
Internal Family Systems ideas help map inner parts and how they relate to one another. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goals and concrete next steps when someone needs relief fast. Together these approaches create a mix of reflection and action.
She is based in Florida and meets with adults who want to examine how family of origin issues, parenting, or early patterns shape their present life. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so the therapist can learn more and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jill blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in short, clear ways online. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's experience and what matters most to them. CBT offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find useful alongside CBT strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will talk with the client at the first sessions to figure out which methods fit the goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may combine listening, skills practice, and short-term goal setting.
Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins that review skills and set next steps. For practical concerns like quieter surroundings, bandwidth, or shorter check-ins, discuss preferences when scheduling so sessions match everyday life.
