Thin Line Counseling

02/27/2026

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeanie’s family and friends and our HCFR family.

It is with profound sadness that Hillsborough County Fire Rescue announces the passing of our beloved sister, Driver Engineer Jeannie Thomas.

For several years, Jeannie fought a courageous battle with cancer, facing it with remarkable strength, honesty, and faith. Even in the midst of her fight, she continued to put others first, encouraging those around her to care for their health, prioritize screenings, and cherish time with loved ones. She loved this department deeply and never stopped hoping to return to serve alongside her brothers and sisters.

D/E Thomas dedicated more than 26 years of service to HCFR, touching countless lives through her compassion and commitment both inside and beyond the firehouse. She was a mother, a wife, a veteran, a firefighter, and a paramedic whose legacy will continue to inspire.

Today, we mourn with her husband Captain Jason Thomas, her three children, and her family, while honoring a life defined by courage, service, and love. Please keep her family and all who loved her in your thoughts and prayers.

We are proud to announce our partnership with HCFR!

As of November, we are providing Hillsborough County firefighters with 6 sessions at no expense to the firefighter. These 6 sessions in conjunction with their 6 EAP sessions will allow firefighters to attend 3 months of weekly therapy at zero cost to the firefighter.

Through this partnership we are also working directly with HCFR’s Peer Support Team to grow resources, train and on board culturally competent clinicians, and lastly create trainings for HCFR personnel on topics ranging from compassion fatigue and burnout to resilience.

To our fellow clinicians looking to impact the lives of firefighter, we highly recommend attending HCFR’s Clinician Orientation! This full day orientation provides an immersive hands on approach to building culturally competent clinicians that are prepared for the challenges firefighters and the families face.

It is a sad, sad day in America. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie’s widow and children.

“The murder of Charlie Kirk yesterday in Utah is horrific and senseless. We pray for and express our deepest sympathy to his family. Politically motivated violence is unacceptable and repugnant.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.

The impressive turnout at Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Florida clinician orientation is a testament to the growing commitment to address the mental health challenges faced by our first responders. A special thanks for the 40+ clinicians who showed up, donned bunker gear and participated in search and rescue and extrication exercises in the Florida heat (though they did get a chance to cool off when they visited dispatch!) to gain a better understanding of the daily challenges faced by our firefighters, medics, and dispatchers. Unfortunately we lose far too many responders to su***de and any help in combatting that is greatly appreciated!

A common question we are often asked…

Effective treatments for PTSD

A strong therapeutic alliance is a critical aspect to help facilitate healing and growth. Our clinicians participate in fire department and law enforcement trainings and log ride time in order to maintain cultural competency. Our clinicians provide a relaxed judgement free atmosphere in order to lay the groundwork to build trust within the client-therapist relationship
