Jill Wasserman

Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She focuses on straightforward, person-centered care that respects each person's story and goals. Jill works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and related challenges such as grief and self-esteem struggles.

She uses a mix of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to shape sessions around what the client needs. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to coping skills and clearer thinking patterns. Jill adjusts pace and focus based on each person's situation and priorities.

Jill has eight years of professional experience in mental health work. That background includes helping people with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and process or substance addictions. She also offers support around relationship stress, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and women's issues.

Clients can expect an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity. Jill aims to create space for honest conversation about guilt, shame, immigration issues, impulsivity, and personality concerns without judgment. Sessions often include skill practice, thought restructuring, and planning for real-life steps.

She emphasizes collaboration when deciding treatment goals. People who want help managing panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, social anxiety, or challenges related to narcissism can bring those concerns into the work. The therapist tailors plans to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Combining client-centered care with CBT and DBT online

Jill draws on client-centered therapy to put the person’s concerns first, creating space for honest talk and collaborative goal setting. This approach focuses on understanding the client's experience and shaping treatment around their values and priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or impulsivity get in the way.

Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust tools and goals over time. That collaborative process helps match treatment to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to continue skill practice between meetings and to support steady progress toward goals.
