About Jill
Jill Hazzard is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers steady support as clients decide what changes matter most to them.
Her approach centers on listening closely and responding with respect and compassion. Jill leans on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they fit the situation. Conversations are shaped to the person's needs rather than a fixed script.
Jill helps people unpack family conflict, intimacy issues, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with mood and attention concerns, eating and anger struggles, and the stresses that come with caregiving or big life transitions. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are common parts of her sessions.
Therapy sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on building small, steady steps toward those goals. She aims to create a calm space for honest talk, problem solving, and learning new ways to handle difficult feelings. Jill adjusts the plan as progress is made.
People who choose Jill often look for respectful, down-to-earth help with real-life problems. She will tailor conversations and the treatment plan to each person's specific situation and goals.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening, reflecting, and following what matters to the person in front of the therapist. Online conversations can still focus on the client's priorities while moving at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress; it often includes simple exercises and homework that suit a weekly online rhythm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high; those skills can be taught and practiced in regular online sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, avoiding travel time, or choosing conversations that do not require video. Many clients find that regular, focused sessions help them build new habits and cope better with everyday stresses.
