Jill Fairhead

Jill Fairhead is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and career concerns. She works with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, parenting difficulties, ADHD, and major life changes. Jill communicates in English, Spanish, and French and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her practice.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on teaching skills, building coping strategies, and improving communication. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation. Jill also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centered techniques to help people clarify values and goals.

Jill’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bishop’s University in Quebec and a master’s in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. She has provided individual therapy in outpatient settings and through telehealth, and led groups in residential and outpatient treatment programs. That mix of settings informs her flexible, real-world approach.

In sessions she offers practical education about symptoms and behaviors, step-by-step skill practice, and guidance for making changes that fit daily life. She pays attention to family and adoption-related issues, blended family challenges, and co-occurring concerns like mood instability and substance use. Jill aims to help people build clearer communication, steadier moods, and healthier habits.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Jill uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and works with people across state and international lines.

How Jill Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on what matters most. It can be helpful for anxiety, low motivation, and career decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills, which can aid people struggling with intense moods or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made so it fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time, let someone choose a quieter space, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Because formats were not specified in the original profile, confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can offer the same skill-building, check-ins, and collaborative planning online as in person, and Jill frames sessions to match each person’s routines and goals.
