About Jill
Jill Burchenal is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of practice. She focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and related stresses. Jill works with people who need concrete help managing difficult emotions and life changes.
She uses practical, conversational work to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational Interviewing and existential perspectives appear in her approach for people sorting values and goals.
Across two decades in private practice, Jill has helped many people with addiction and codependency concerns, adult child of alcoholic issues, and grief work. She also has extensive experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and trauma-related symptoms. Her experience includes both short-term problem-focused work and longer-term therapy.
Sessions tend to combine straightforward skills practice with time to talk through difficult feelings. Jill encourages clear goals, step-by-step plans, and regular review of progress. If a different resource would be a better match, she will suggest other options and referrals.
Clients can expect a practical, paced approach aimed at improving daily coping and interpersonal functioning. The work emphasizes noticing thoughts and behaviors, testing new ways of responding, and building routines that reduce distress. Jill practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
How Jill integrates structured approaches in online sessions
Jill commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going; CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments to change those patterns. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize clear listening and reflection so people can clarify goals and what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship and attachment themes dominate, helping people recognize and name strong feelings and the interaction patterns that follow.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what needs a different focus.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work makes it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allows shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and can reduce travel time. Jill frames online sessions the same way as in-person work - practical exercises, clear goals, and regular review - while keeping the plan adaptable to each person's needs.
