About Jill

Jill Fairhead is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, ADHD, and major life changes.

Jill uses practical skills and straightforward conversation to help people manage difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than jargon. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns and build emotion regulation skills.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and notice what matters most. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for improving communication and repairing trust in partnerships. Treatment plans usually mix skill practice, reflection, and actionable steps for daily life.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bishop’s University and a master’s in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Jill has provided individual therapy in outpatient settings, telehealth, and has facilitated groups in residential and outpatient treatment programs. That range informs how she coaches people through practical changes.

People looking for help with impulsivity, addiction, parenting strain, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, or recovery from domestic violence will find a therapist who combines evidence-based methods with straightforward problem-solving. Jill speaks English, Spanish, and French and works with international clients.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying what matters to the person and taking small actions that align with those values, which can reduce reactive anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses.

Finding the right approach happens together. Jill will talk with the person about goals, current struggles, and preferred ways of working. She uses that conversation to decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or elements of the Gottman Method fit best, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity for people who move or live abroad. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine discussion, skills practice, and short between-session exercises to keep progress steady.
