About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She works in Missouri and draws on practical, down-to-earth methods to help clients take manageable steps forward. Jill’s background includes work with child abuse and trauma survivors and a current role in a middle school setting.
That experience shaped her approach to safety, trust, and small, steady progress.
Background and approach
She helps people who face ADHD, grief, relationship strain, and emotional wounds from past abuse. Her style is relaxed and supportive. Jill focuses on identifying strengths and making them useful in day-to-day life.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing skills people can use right away. Jill blends cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and mindfulness to tailor the work to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients notice what matters and take values-based action.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs. People who come to Jill often want practical tools for coping, clearer priorities, and relief from recurring anxious or low moods. She also addresses caregiver stress, first responder issues, seasonal mood changes, and the long-term effects of trauma.
Jill supports international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily coping. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and following your pace so conversations feel respectful and clear.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, which help people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters most. That approach can be helpful for stress, parenting decisions, and managing mood by shifting focus from struggling with feelings to living by chosen priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which combination of methods fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can try techniques, adjust the plan, and choose the pace that works for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and skill work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Text and chat let clients share updates between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing parenting, work, and other demands.
