About Jill

Jill Hazzard is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, and intimacy-related concerns. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career questions, mood and personality disorders, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. Jill combines several therapeutic methods to support clients, drawing on Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral strategies.

She also uses dialectical behavior and solution-focused approaches when they fit the client’s goals. Those varied tools allow her to tailor short- and longer-term work that emphasizes understanding internal parts, building coping skills, improving relationships, and resolving family-of-origin or blended-family tensions.

People who seek a collaborative therapist will find a steady, experienced practitioner who values individualized care and clear goal-setting. Jill offers flexible online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore the different internal parts that influence feelings and behavior, encouraging a compassionate, curious stance toward inner experience and supporting work on trauma, relationship patterns, and self-understanding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to guide the pace and focus of their healing while feeling heard and validated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to either short-term symptom relief or deeper, longer-term personal work based on the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Jill is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles. These formats make it possible to access counseling from home or on the go, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing for the same therapeutic planning and skill-building found in traditional sessions.
