About Jill

Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, mood concerns, and the effects of trauma. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and caregiver stress. Her tone is calm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.

Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building small, doable skills. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practices techniques that fit daily life. Her background includes work with survivors of abuse and trauma, and experience in school settings.

Over two decades she has supported people facing sexual trauma, bullying, and significant life changes. That experience shapes a steady, supportive approach to difficult topics. In sessions Jill listens without judgment and uses humor when it helps.

She emphasizes practical tools for stress, anger, and low self-esteem, and helps people set achievable goals. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Jill offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

She welcomes people who want to work on parenting challenges, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue, or finding more balance in life.

How Jill’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on small behavior changes and practical skills to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and goals of the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill works collaboratively to see what fits each person's needs and preferences. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle short check-ins during a workday, and keep momentum between appointments.
