About Jill
Jill Burchenal is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach to helping people navigate strong emotions and life challenges. Many clients come to her worried about anger, addiction, grief, or stress and wanting practical ways to cope.
Jill combines talk therapy with clear, goal-oriented strategies. She draws on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses emotionally-focused and existential ideas to help people understand their feelings and find personal meaning. Her practice includes support for depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue. Jill has spent many years helping people sort through grief, codependency, and the effects of growing up with addicted family members.
She aims to help people identify patterns and try different ways to respond to them. Sessions with Jill are conversational and practical. She listens carefully, helps set clear goals, and works with each person to practice new skills between meetings.
If she feels another resource would be a better fit, she will offer recommendations to help people keep moving forward. Jill practices in Florida and works in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on finding usable tools and steady progress toward a calmer, more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jill uses client-centered therapy to make sessions feel natural and respectful. That approach focuses on listening, building trust, and helping each person set their own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to track progress between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules or locations change.
