About Jill
Jill Fairhead is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and challenges like ADHD and parenting. Jill also supports those coping with life transitions and compassion fatigue.
Jill uses straightforward, skill-based work in sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas, client-centered talking, and relationship work informed by the Gottman Method. Conversations focus on practical strategies to reduce reactivity, manage mood swings, and handle triggers that lead to anger or impulsive behavior.
Her background includes individual outpatient therapy, telehealth work, and facilitating groups in residential and outpatient programs. Jill completed a Bachelor of Psychology at Bishop's University and a Master of Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University. Her experience spans issues such as domestic violence-related trauma, addiction, adoption and foster care challenges, and blended family stress.
In sessions she teaches concrete skills like breathing and grounding for immediate relief, thought-challenging for unhelpful patterns, and communication techniques for tense interactions. She also offers psychoeducation about emotional regulation and relapse prevention for substance concerns. The focus is on what works now and on building steady habits over time.
Jill offers therapy in English, Spanish, and French. People seeking an initial step complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals, preferred methods, and practical next steps.
How online sessions use evidence-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps when anger comes from stuck thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to reframe unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and reactive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that directly address impulsivity and intense anger.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative and practical, focusing on skills you can use between sessions.
The original biography notes telehealth experience but does not list specific online formats here. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose a quieter space for conversation. Licensed professionals can use these practical advantages to maintain continuity of care and build skills without asking you to rearrange your whole schedule.
