Jill Fairhead, LMHC

Jill Fairhead is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and parenting challenges. Jill speaks English, Spanish, and French and is based in Florida.

Jill uses clear, practical steps in therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on skills you can try between visits and on making everyday changes that reduce distress.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. She offers education about symptoms and helps people build coping plans for hard moments. Jill aims to make therapy feel manageable when life gets overwhelming or chaotic.

Jill has worked in outpatient and residential settings and has run group therapy for adults and adolescents. That background informs how she structures sessions and how she uses skills training and communication practice in session.

People come to Jill for a wide range of concerns including mood instability, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, infidelity, domestic violence, and substance use concerns. Jill helps clients set clear goals and take small, steady steps toward them.

How Jill’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed distress and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood instability. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and repair skills in relationships, with concrete exercises to rebuild trust and connection.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jill will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may mean combining techniques from different approaches over time to find what works best.

The therapist's biography notes prior work via telehealth, but specific current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it simpler to involve language options like Spanish or French when needed. Ask about format options when you schedule to find what will fit your routine.
