About Jill

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of experience, Jill Wasserman focuses on mood and behavioral concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addictions. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and questions around sexual orientation. Jill uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people manage symptoms and daily challenges.

Jill begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and practical skills. CBT is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. DBT techniques help with strong emotions, impulse control, and improving coping under pressure.

Her work also covers co-occurring conditions such as substance use and mood disorders. Jill addresses process addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, social anxiety, and anger concerns with structured strategies. She also supports people dealing with grief, guilt, shame, and immigration-related stress.

In session she tends to combine short-term skill building with ongoing problem-solving. Conversations move between learning coping tools and applying them to real life. She adapts pacing to what the person needs that week and reviews progress regularly.

Jill offers services in English and practices in Michigan. She holds the LPC credential and has focused on clinical work for the past eight years. To begin, people choose an online therapy option and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Jill combines client-centered work with structured therapies to address mood and behavior problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so the person guides which issues come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and some addiction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands during early sessions and adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative and aimed at matching strategies to what helps most in a person’s life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from different locations. They also let people try skill-focused sessions or brief reviews when a shorter meeting is more practical.
