About Jill
Jill Fairhead is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and phobias. She works with clients dealing with addiction, anger, grief, parenting worries, career transitions, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Jill communicates in English, Spanish, and French and practices from Florida as an LMHC.
Her sessions aim to make stressful problems clearer and more manageable. She uses everyday language and practical exercises rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Clients can expect guidance, skills practice, and talking through situations to find what fits them. Jill draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness-based strategies. She also uses client-centered listening and techniques from dialectical behavioral therapy to address intense emotions and relationship patterns.
The Gottman Method informs her work with communication and commitment issues. She trained with a master’s in mental health counseling and has over a decade of clinical experience. That experience includes outpatient individual therapy, telehealth sessions, and leading groups in residential and outpatient programs.
She has supported people coping with mood instability, substance use, domestic violence histories, and adoption-related challenges. Jill focuses on helping people move through life changes, build coping skills, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She encourages gradual steps and practical homework between meetings.
Her style balances active skill teaching with empathetic listening.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It emphasizes values-based goals and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, phobias, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress and gives clear exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or relationship conflict. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction matter. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, ongoing skill reminders, or people who prefer typing. These options allow scheduling flexibility, easier fitting of sessions into busy days, and consistent access when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.Questions people ask
