Jill Burchenal, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Jill

Jill Burchenal is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, experience-based therapy to help people facing hard moments. She draws on more than 22 years of clinical work to offer steady, down-to-earth care. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult topics.

She often helps people dealing with addiction, grief, and trauma. She also works with depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her background includes long experience supporting those coping with life changes and career stress, along with compassion fatigue and bipolar-related challenges. Jill blends several therapeutic approaches to fit individual needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust and listen closely.

She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused methods when relationships and connection are central. In sessions she aims to create an open, warm setting where people can speak honestly and begin to make practical changes. She focuses on both emotional understanding and concrete steps clients can try between visits.

If another path seems better, she will share resources to help find it. Jill practices in Florida and holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Her work reflects two decades of independent practice experience and a commitment to steady, compassionate support.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits family needs

Jill uses client-centered work to make space for each person's story and to build a trusting relationship. This approach focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace so people feel heard and clearer about what matters to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem solving related to parenting and everyday life.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Jill treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will adapt techniques to match a client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She discusses options and checks in regularly to see what is helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and access care from home or wherever they are. The variety also makes it possible to switch formats when needs change, so therapy can remain steady and practical.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
