About Jill
Jill Burchenal is a Florida LMHC with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. Her practice also addresses stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Jill favors straightforward conversation and practical problem solving. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral tools to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how feelings affect relationships. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into a busy life.
Many of her years in private practice involved supporting people with addiction, codependency, adult children of alcoholics, and complex grief. She also has long experience helping people recover from different kinds of trauma and manage mood cycles. That background shapes how she listens and what she offers in sessions.
People who come for parenting concerns or family strain often talk through boundaries, communication, and managing overwhelming emotions. For work-related stress and compassion fatigue she helps identify burnout signs and practical coping strategies. Therapy combines talking, reflective questions, and exercises to practice between sessions.
Jill encourages a direct, collaborative process. If a different approach would suit better, she will recommend other resources so people can keep looking for the right fit. Sessions are conducted in English in Florida and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jill commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person says so goals come from the client's priorities. That approach helps people clarify what matters and feel understood while they sort through difficult choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions at home.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas appear when exploring how emotions shape close relationships and interactions. EFT elements help people notice patterns in feeling and response that affect connection and intimacy.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift as the work progresses and as different issues come up.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally aim to adapt session pace and tools so the work fits everyday life rather than requiring long blocks of time.
