About Jill

Dr. Jill Hackley offers care for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, anger, parenting concerns, ADHD, and issues related to adoption, foster care, and attachment.

Background and approach

With two decades in the mental health field, she brings sustained clinical experience and a focus on practical strategies to help clients manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dr.

Hackley practices in Iowa and holds psychology licenses for Nebraska (NE Psychologist 964) and Minnesota (MN Psychologist LP6593). Her training includes a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Drake University.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs, drawing on a long background working with children and adolescents in inpatient and residential settings as well as providing individual, family, and group therapy. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and skill-building, aiming to address immediate concerns while supporting longer-term change.

Prospective clients can expect an experienced clinician who blends evidence-based techniques and a warm, person-focused stance to help them work toward clearer goals.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Online

Dr. Hackley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide online sessions in ways that fit a client’s life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and many daily stressors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapist’s empathic, nonjudgmental stance and supports clients in exploring their own goals and solutions.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to determine which methods and tools make the most sense based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and how someone prefers to engage, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical, while preserving the same clinical approaches and collaborative focus used in traditional settings.
