About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and other life challenges. Her manner is calm and approachable and she aims to make conversations easy to follow for worried parents and busy people.
Jill draws on practical therapies that focus on the present and on building strengths. She uses techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, existential ideas, and a client-centered stance.
How Jill works
Sessions are conversational and geared toward real-life changes rather than jargon or long lectures. She has a background working with child abuse and trauma survivors and currently practices in a middle school setting in Missouri. That experience informs her work with people managing grief, sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people coping with mood disorders, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and stress from caregiving or first responder roles. In sessions she helps people spot useful patterns, try small behavior changes, and strengthen what already works. Jill tailors the plan to each person and emphasizes practical steps parents can try between sessions.
Her style is supportive and direct, with space for humor when it fits. She accepts clients from various locations, offers work focused on finances and life purpose as well as relationship and family concerns, and aims to help people build tools they can use outside of therapy.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters most. It helps people move forward even when strong emotions or difficult thoughts are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan when needed to fit the client's pace and real-life demands.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines and to practice skills between sessions.
