About Jill
Jill Hazell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people through trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She works in Missouri and draws on a relaxed, supportive style to help clients feel heard and understood. Jill focuses on strengths and practical steps so people can move past what is holding them back.
She has a long history of working with survivors of child abuse and sexual trauma as well as people coping with bullying, ADHD, and school-related concerns.
Background and approach
Much of her recent work has been in a middle school setting where she supports students and staff through stress and behavioral challenges. Her experience also includes first responder issues and caregiver stress. Jill blends Narrative ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with client-centered and existential perspectives when helpful.
In sessions she listens for the stories a person tells about themselves and looks for opportunities to reframe those stories into more helpful narratives. She uses plain language and simple exercises to try out new ways of thinking and acting. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly, identify strengths, and set straightforward goals. Conversations can include practical skill-building as well as reflection on meaning and values. Jill tailors each plan to the person in front of her.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose what fits their day-to-day life.

Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jill commonly draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories in more helpful ways, which can be useful for trauma, relationship problems, and identity concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and practicing small actions that align with those values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adapting the plan together as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, quick coping skills, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
