About Jill

Jill Fairhead is a Florida LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting, career questions, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

She uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and elements of the Gottman Method. Sessions aim to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses in everyday situations.

Her style is direct and structured. She offers psychological education, guided practice, and feedback to help people manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful behavior patterns. Jill also brings strategies for handling impulses, addiction-related urges, and relationship communication problems.

She has worked in outpatient and residential settings and has run group and individual programs. Her background includes a Bachelor of Psychology from Bishop's University and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Jill’s LMHC credential is noted for work in Florida.

Jill speaks English, Spanish, and French, and she accepts international clients. People who prefer clear steps, homework-style practice, and a focus on thinking and behavior often find this approach useful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Jill Uses CBT, ACT, and DBT in Remote Sessions

Jill often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test clearer ways of thinking. CBT focuses on specific situations, the thoughts that follow, and practical steps to change responses and behavior.

She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values and committed actions matter. ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that fit their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used for emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills, offering concrete tools for managing intense moods and impulses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend strategies from these methods. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to be on camera for the whole appointment. Licensed professionals can use a range of approaches remotely, and Jill will help match methods to practical constraints and goals so therapy fits into your daily life.
