About Jill
Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Jill uses straightforward talk therapy and evidence-based tools. She combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means conversations are built around the person's goals, while also practicing patterns of thinking and behavior that reduce distress.
Many people come to her for help managing strong reactions - losing patience with loved ones, workplace frustration, or ongoing resentment. Jill breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches skills for handling impulses, mood swings, and cravings. She also addresses overlapping issues like substance use, obsessive thoughts, or panic attacks.
Her approach is practical and skills-focused. Sessions often include clear strategies to try between appointments, short behavior experiments, and tools to spot triggers. Jill pays attention to emotional patterns and day-to-day routines that keep problems going.
Clients who need help with grief, parenting strain, immigration-related stress, or women's issues will find these topics included in her practice. She also supports people dealing with co-occurring conditions such as personality or mood disorders. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals and plans a first session based on that information.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around the person's goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and adjusts conversation to fit the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to change patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These skills help with strong reactions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that often mixes talk-based support with skill practice.
