About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting stress, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Her background includes work with child abuse and trauma survivors and a current role in a middle school setting.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and mindfulness. She keeps sessions relaxed and practical. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and setting clear, manageable steps. This can help with everyday stresses, mood shifts, and coping after difficult events.
Jill has supported people facing sexual trauma, emotional abuse, bullying, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and first responder issues. Practical problem solving and skill-building are common parts of her work.
She describes a straightforward counseling style, using humor at times and encouraging honest talk without judgment. Sessions typically concentrate on what is happening now and what can be changed next. The aim is to sort through immediate problems and restore more stable functioning.
People can expect a mix of listening, reflective feedback, and short exercises or strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment principles, and mindfulness. Jill helps people notice strengths and use them to move past obstacles. If someone wants to explore options, she asks questions and develops a plan together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that fit those values, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical strategies to shift thinking patterns and build new routines, which is often useful for mood, anxiety, and coping skills.
Mindfulness Therapy trains gentle attention to the present moment. Simple breath or awareness exercises help reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation in stressful parenting and caregiving situations.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they like to work. Together they decide which ideas and strategies to try and adjust them over time.
