About Jill

Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addictions. Jill also addresses parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.

Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation. She uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

In sessions she talks through coping strategies for anxiety, mood swings, impulsivity, and addictive behaviors. She also helps people navigate guilt, shame, immigration stressors, and overlapping conditions such as co-morbidity or mood disorders. Conversations include concrete skills and short-term behavior experiments when relevant.

Jill works with people concerned about obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, social anxiety, and personality-related challenges. She supports women’s issues and LGBT-related concerns in individual sessions. Her work may include addressing process addictions like gambling or problematic internet use.

Her style is straightforward and focused on practical next steps. People who want clear strategies for home life, parenting strain, or coping with difficult emotions may find this approach helpful.

How sessions work

How Jill’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. Online sessions using this approach begin with the person’s priorities and work from there to set goals and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In online appointments CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online work with DBT emphasizes practical skills practice and step-by-step coaching for strong emotional moments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with Jill during the initial scheduling step to match a session rhythm that fits everyday life.
