Jill Wasserman

Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood challenges, and anger. She writes treatment plans with each person in mind and centers conversations on what matters to the individual. Jill aims to offer respectful and compassionate support as people take steps toward a more satisfying life.

With eight years of experience, she has worked with clients facing depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the ripple effects of co-morbidity such as substance use and process addictions. Jill’s background includes addressing issues like panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood disorders.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client's perspective and timing. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Jill also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are central concerns.

In sessions she tailors the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. That might mean focusing on coping skills for anger, building tools for managing urges, or working through relationship strain. Jill stresses practical steps people can use between meetings to notice change.

People who value a respectful, down-to-earth approach may find her style helpful. She encourages taking the first step and offers steady support through the process of change.

How these approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses the work on what feels most important to them. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space and a plan that follows their pace and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking that feed anxiety, depression, or anger and then try practical steps to change those patterns. It is useful when specific skills and experiments between sessions can reduce symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving coping. It can be helpful when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are important goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and let people join sessions from different locations. It also supports brief check-ins, focused skills practice, or longer weekly sessions depending on what fits a person’s routine.
