About Jill

Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience working across school and community settings. She draws on cognitive behavioral principles alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to help people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and a wide range of stressors.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with child abuse and trauma victims and ongoing practice in a middle school environment, giving her practical insight into challenges that affect both young people and adults. Her style is relaxed and warm, with an emphasis on identifying and building on clients' strengths.

Jill aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions while developing concrete coping skills. She also supports people facing issues such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, social anxiety, mood disorders, and recovery from sexual assault or abuse.

Jill works from Missouri and provides services in English, accepting international clients. She individualizes treatment plans to match each person's needs and uses a collaborative approach to help clients set goals and move toward a more balanced, purposeful life.

How Jill's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Jill integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work in ways that are practical and skill-focused. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new behaviors and coping strategies, which can be practiced together during remote sessions and reinforced between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, useful for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity in daily life.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jill tailors her use of CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques to a person's goals and preferences, working together to evaluate what feels most helpful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and practice skills in real-world contexts between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods effectively across these options to support steady progress and skill building.
