About Jill
Jill Fairhead is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or challenges related to ADHD. Her approach is practical and direct, with a focus on everyday changes that make life more manageable.
Jill uses straightforward conversation, teaching, and skill-building. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete exercises and homework so progress continues between meetings. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bishop’s University and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. She has practiced for 12 years in outpatient and residential settings and has led group therapy as well as individual sessions.
In sessions she aims to combine acceptance-based strategies with problem-solving. That can mean learning distress-tolerance skills, practicing communication tools, or developing a personal plan to manage mood swings and impulsivity. Jill explains techniques in plain language and checks in to make sure they fit the person’s life.
She provides care in English, Spanish, and French and works with people facing addictions, trauma, grief, parenting stress, career concerns, and more. Her style is collaborative - she helps people set goals and keeps the work focused on what’s useful now.
Remote therapy approaches and how they work
Jill commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and living with ongoing challenges. CBT teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan based on what fits the person’s life and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get brief support, practice new skills, or follow up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
