Jill Burchenal

Jill Burchenal is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She focuses on practical support for issues like addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, and career concerns. People meet her approachable style and straightforward help when they first reach out.

She has worked with many people around addiction, codependency, and loss, and brings long experience addressing trauma and related symptoms. Jill also supports clients dealing with relationship struggles, parenting stresses, anger, and low self-esteem. Career questions and major life changes are part of her practice as well.

Jill uses several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then setting small, manageable goals. She blends client-centered care with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques to help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns.

Sessions aim to balance practical steps and emotional work. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way, tools to try between sessions, and check-ins about what is working. Jill also offers coaching-style support when people want focused goal work around career or life transitions.

She practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. If a different fit is needed, Jill will offer resources to help find another therapist who better matches a person’s needs.

How Jill’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what someone says, helps them name feelings, and supports the choices the person wants to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it often includes small homework tasks to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift emotional responses to improve connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan over time based on what helps most, blending listening, skills work, and emotion-focused steps as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use session time for focused goal work. Talk with the therapist about how remote sessions could fit into your routine and which approach would best support your goals.
