Jill Hazzard, LMHC

Jill Hazzard is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals coping with parenting strain, family conflict, intimacy issues, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Jill meets people where they are and treats them with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Jill draws on 35 years of professional experience to shape care around each person's needs. She listens first, then tailors conversation and a practical plan to what matters most for daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Jill also uses solution-focused strategies and Internal Family Systems ideas when they fit a person's situation. These methods are chosen to help with mood concerns, coping skills, and improving relationships.

In practice she helps people address issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family challenges, divorce and family of origin problems. Jill aims to create a steady, respectful space for honest conversation and change.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jill offers steady guidance while people explore options. She adapts pace and tools to each person's goals, helping them build skills and move toward a more satisfying everyday life.

How Jill's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work means the therapist listens carefully and follows the person's lead, focusing on what feels most important to them. This helps when people need emotional support, clearer goals, or a space to sort through relationship and family concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, mood challenges, and managing everyday reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation and getting through intense moments, which can help with anger, mood swings, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Jill will work collaboratively to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what feels useful in practice. She adapts techniques and pace so people can try tools between meetings and notice what changes.

Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping regular appointments and practicing skills in real life.
