Jill Burchenal , LMHC

Jill Burchenal is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. She combines skillful therapeutic techniques and a holistic sensibility to support people navigating addiction, codependency, grief and loss, shame, and issues common to adult children of alcoholics. Over many years in private practice she has also provided care for depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and a wide range of trauma-related difficulties.

Known for creating an open and warm atmosphere, Jill works to build the trust needed for clients to explore the areas of life that are causing distress. Her approach emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional healing so clients can move toward balance, renewed direction, and a steadier inner rhythm. She draws on multiple clinical methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, and she is attentive to the particular dynamics of family, career, and caregiving stressors that affect well-being.

When Jill recognizes that another clinician or resource would better serve a person, she provides guidance to help them find the right alternative. Her goal is to help individuals find sustainable relief, increased resilience, and clearer pathways toward wholeness and greater life satisfaction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jill integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online practice to address a variety of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth, making it useful for individuals seeking a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to process life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps partners and individuals deepen emotional connection and resolve attachment-related conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jill works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This flexible stance allows treatment to evolve as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions with Jill are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats support consistent engagement and make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
