About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and social anxiety and phobia.
She has worked in schools and with survivors of child abuse and sexual trauma, and has experience across a range of settings. That background means she is used to helping people who are coping with stress, grief, mood changes, and life disruptions.
Her approach is relaxed and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying what is getting in the way, and trying practical steps to reduce distress. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered conversation, existential thinking, and mindfulness practices to support change.
In a typical meeting she will listen, reflect what she hears, and suggest small experiments or skills to try between sessions. She often helps people organize worries, challenge unhelpful thinking, and practice simple mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Jill aims to help people sort through immediate problems and plan next steps. She helps with caregiver stress, first responder concerns, loneliness, and the emotional fallout of separation or financial strain. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking committed action toward what matters. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety and mood challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection, giving people room to explore issues at their own pace while the therapist follows their lead.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the style as sessions progress. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Many people find it simple to try exercises, practice skills between meetings, and bring real-life situations into the conversation through virtual sessions. Licensed professionals will help match the approach and format to daily routines and needs.
