About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. Jill has experience supporting people affected by child abuse, sexual trauma, bullying, and ADHD. Sessions are conversational and straightforward.
Her style is laid back and practical. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to manage stress and difficult feelings. Conversations focus on concrete steps people can try between sessions. Humor and direct talk are part of how she makes the work feel manageable.
Jill combines several evidence-informed approaches in her work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. Client-centered listening shapes how she responds so that the person feels heard and understood. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas help with tolerance of strong emotions and staying present.
Her background includes work with child abuse and trauma survivors and current experience in a middle school setting. That range means she has seen a wide variety of life stressors and coping patterns. She draws on that experience when helping people sort through relationship problems, grief, caregiver stress, or anger that shows up at home or at work.
Jill supports people who want clear, practical tools and honest conversation. She asks questions, offers options, and works with each person to choose what fits their life. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jill commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking action that aligns with values. It can help with ongoing anger, avoidance, or life transitions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce stress and reactivity.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. During early sessions she and the client talk about goals and preferences, try different techniques, and plan what to continue. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, or a blend fits best for the person's situation.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because none are specified in the provided biography. In general, online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Online work also makes it practical to use mindfulness exercises, homework review, and behavior experiments between meetings. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so the arrangements match your daily routine.
