About Jill
Jill Burchenal is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of practice in Florida. She uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Her approach aims to make the first step feel less daunting and more manageable.
Jill favors clear, down-to-earth conversations where clients are heard without judgment. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused ideas inform work on intimacy and connection, while motivational interviewing helps with readiness for change. Over two decades she has guided people through addiction and codependency, and offered support for adult children of alcoholics. She also has extensive experience addressing trauma, parenting challenges, bipolar concerns, stress, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps alongside emotional processing. Jill aims to build a warm, trusting space where people can talk through what matters most. She emphasizes actionable strategies that fit each person’s life, along with time to make sense of painful feelings.
If another provider would be a better fit, she will suggest other resources to keep progress moving forward. She practices in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and conducts sessions in English. Her style is collaborative and steady, geared toward helping people find balance and a clearer sense of direction.
How Jill’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist reflect and adapt to what matters most, so conversations stay focused on the client's goals and concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. In online work those tools become homework-friendly tasks and short skill practices that can be reviewed over video or text between sessions.
Emotionally-focused ideas are useful for addressing connection and intimacy concerns by naming emotions and patterns. These approaches work well in online appointments where two people can slow down, notice reactions, and try new ways of relating within session time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide what methods to try first, adjust techniques as needed, and set goals based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support brief reflections, coaching, or between-session follow-up. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping consistent progress.
