About Jill
Jill Wasserman is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who blends practical strategies with empathic support to help clients navigate difficult life challenges.
Background and approach
With eight years of experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her practice also attends to ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and issues related to self-esteem and coping with change.
Jill emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while shaping each treatment plan to fit an individual's needs. She has worked with a wide range of presenting problems, including co-morbidity, substance and process addictions, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, personality and mood disorders, and problems tied to guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at practical coping skills and clearer thinking patterns. Jill encourages those taking the first step toward change and offers steady support as they pursue greater wellbeing and healthier daily functioning.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Jill uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related problems. Client-centered therapy is also part of her approach, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and involved in setting goals. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete tools to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Jill will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions rather than assuming a single path, and clients participate in shaping their treatment over time.
Online therapy with Jill is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, apply skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care despite geographical or timing constraints, while still allowing for interactive, skill-focused work with a licensed professional.
