About Jill
Jill Fairhead is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction. She offers calm, practical support when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Jill speaks English, Spanish, and French and works with clients from Florida and beyond. In sessions she focuses on clear tools and steady conversation.
Jill uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She explains ideas in everyday language and helps people try techniques between meetings.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Psychology from Bishop's University and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Jill has about 12 years of counseling experience across outpatient and residential settings.
That background includes individual therapy, group work, and telehealth practice. When someone is coping with grief, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, mood shifts, or relationship problems, Jill aims to make progress feel manageable.
She teaches practical breathing and mindfulness skills, emotion regulation strategies, and ways to reframe negative thoughts. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused while staying responsive to what each person needs.
Jill recognizes that change can be hard. She offers a steady presence and clear steps for moving forward, whether the work is around self-esteem, impulsivity, infidelity, blended family issues, or career transitions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Jill often draws on the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and managing conflict with clear exercises and practical steps that can help partners understand patterns and repair connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to values-driven action to move forward.She views finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try one or more methods to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and exercises are used in sessions and between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for closer interaction and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while still getting consistent support.
