About Jill
Jill Hazzard is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, depression, and other life changes.
Background and approach
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, working to understand their particular situation before shaping a personalized plan. Jill emphasizes a practical, collaborative style that adapts to what the client needs at different points in therapy.
Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, dialectical behavior strategies, solution-focused tools, and parts-based Internal Family Systems ideas. These approaches are combined with careful attention to relationship dynamics, grief, trauma, mood and personality issues, and concerns such as intimacy, eating, anger, and self-esteem.
Jill makes space for conversations about career stresses, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and caregiving strain while tailoring interventions to the individual. Located in Florida, Jill brings decades of clinical experience to sessions and aims to support clients as they take steps toward clearer coping, healthier relationships, and greater emotional balance.
How Jill’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship; online sessions provide a space for someone to feel heard and to explore personal values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which can work well through guided exercises and homework assigned during teletherapy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for clients coping with intense emotions or relational conflicts and adaptable to remote teaching and practice.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jill works with clients to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends listening and behavioral tools so the plan evolves collaboratively rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility concerns. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills in everyday contexts while receiving regular support from a licensed professional.
