Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and depression. Jill aims to offer respectful, sensitive, and compassionate support as people take steps toward a more manageable life.
She uses conversation and practical planning to shape each session. Jill listens first, then tailors a plan to the person in front of her. That plan can include strategies to reduce panic symptoms, manage compulsive behaviors, or cope with strong mood shifts.
Jill draws on client-centered work to keep the person's goals central to therapy. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas are included when learning new emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills is helpful.
Over eight years of work, Jill has supported people facing addiction, obsessive-compulsive patterns, grief, and relationship strain. She also helps with issues like immigration stress, guilt and shame, and women's concerns. Her approach is practical and straightforward, with attention to what people need in day-to-day life.
Jill asks questions, offers tools, and adjusts plans based on what is working. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so change feels possible. When someone is ready to begin, Jill helps them set a clear next step.
How her approaches guide online care
Jill uses client-centered work to keep the person and their goals at the heart of therapy. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with the counselor asking questions and adapting the conversation to fit each person's needs.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behavior and reduce symptoms such as panic and anxiety.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal skills are needed. These strategies can help people respond differently in moments of high stress or strong emotion.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jill will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match the client's goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow different ways of working on skills between sessions to support steady progress.
