About Jill
Jill Hazzard is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 35 years of experience helping adults navigate parenting concerns and related family stress. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps parents can use day to day. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and goals.
Jill uses straightforward strategies from several therapy approaches. She listens closely, clarifies what matters most, and helps people build tools they can use at home.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress.
Jill has experience addressing more complex mood and personality issues as well. Parents who struggle with blended family dynamics, postpartum depression, caregiver stress, or disputes about boundaries will find focused attention on those topics. She also helps clients dealing with trauma, abandonment, and the effects of family-of-origin patterns.
Jill combines Client-Centered methods with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Her approach is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small changes that add up. She aims to offer steady support as people work toward clearer coping and healthier relationships.

How Jill’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to name priorities and make small, steady changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for regulating intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for people who want concrete skills to reduce anger, manage mood swings, or improve relationship interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the plan stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and you want a conversation feel. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options aim to make therapy easier to attend and to fit into everyday life.
