Jill Hazzard, LMHC

Jill Hazzard is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 35 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, depression, relationship matters, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life changes. Jill also notes additional focus on blended family issues and related family dynamics.

Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens to the immediate problem, then helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Jill uses a mix of approaches to match the situation rather than sticking to a single technique.

In practice she often draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and replace them with more workable habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns.

Jill also uses solution-focused tools for short-term goals and Internal Family Systems ideas when people want to understand internal conflicts and patterns rooted in family history. She aims to make therapy concrete: identify a problem, try a small change, then review what worked.

People seeking help with stepfamily routines, co-parenting tensions, or loyalty conflicts often find this practical approach useful. The first meeting is used to clarify concerns, set priorities, and decide what to work on next.
