About Jill

Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. She draws on a mix of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, existential, and mindfulness practices to create individualized care that emphasizes personal strengths and practical strategies.

Background and approach

Jill has worked across multiple settings, including a middle school, and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bullying, sexual trauma, and ADHD. Her manner is described as relaxed and compassionate with a sense of humor, and she aims to build a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges and test new approaches.

Jill focuses on identifying and amplifying existing resources so clients can manage stress, process grief, address compassion fatigue, and move toward clearer goals. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions from her Missouri practice using formats that fit each person’s needs.

Jill frames therapy as a practical partnership: she listens, helps set achievable steps, and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles emerge. Her goal is to empower people to make meaningful changes and to feel more capable in everyday life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that align with those values, often reducing avoidance and increasing meaningful engagement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, and adapts the plan as progress is made. That partnership helps tailor interventions so they are both practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from different locations. These formats allow scheduling around work, family, or other commitments and let therapists use ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices in ways that suit each client's routine and learning style.
