About Jill

Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, and depression. Jill also works with anger, ADHD, relationship strains, grief, and parenting challenges.

Her approach centers on practical talk and skill building. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are added when emotion regulation and impulsivity are getting in the way.

Sessions aim to clarify what is happening day to day. Jill helps people break problems into manageable steps. For someone snapping at loved ones or feeling resentful at work, she will help identify triggers and practice different responses.

She pays attention to co-occurring issues, such as mood disorders alongside addiction or OCD symptoms alongside anxiety. That means treatment plans often combine coping skills, behavior changes, and attention to how problems interact. Conversations focus on what a person can try between sessions.

Jill asks clients to be part of choosing goals and methods. She explains options plainly and adjusts the plan as progress is made. To start, readers are invited to follow the site workflow to review online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow a person’s priorities and adjust pacing to what feels most useful. It helps when someone needs to talk through triggers or figure out immediate next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice thought and behavior patterns and test new ways of responding. Delivered online, CBT often uses brief exercises, homework tasks, and clear skill coaching that can be reviewed between meetings. This is practical for tackling workplace frustration, rumination, or patterns that feed anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can introduce these skills, role-play responses, and plan small experiments to practice in daily life when emotions rise. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Jill will work with each person to decide which approaches to try first, adjusting as goals and needs change. Clients are involved in setting targets and tracking what helps. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits work or family routines.
