About Jill
Jill Fairhead is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, addiction, anger, ADHD, and life changes. She speaks English, Spanish, and French and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work. She uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions.
Jill teaches skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and handling overwhelming moments. Sessions often include short-term tools and longer-term strategies depending on what a person needs.
Background and approach
Jill blends talk therapy with skills practice. She pulls from cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness-based methods to increase present-moment awareness. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people identify values and take steps toward them.
Her background includes outpatient individual therapy, telehealth work, and leading groups in residential and outpatient settings. That range gave her experience with mood instability, substance use concerns, trauma, adoption and foster-care related issues, and parenting challenges. People working with Jill can expect a collaborative style.
She listens first, then offers clear options and practical exercises to try between sessions. The aim is steady progress on everyday problems so life feels more manageable over time.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while tolerating difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversational work and skills practice. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
