About Jill
Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, person-focused care. She draws on eight years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and challenges tied to addiction. Jill aims to make first steps feel manageable and supportive for someone who is worried or unsure.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing and workable right now. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies for intense emotion and tools to reduce impulsive behaviors.
Background and approach
Jill also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her approach adapts to the person in front of her rather than fitting people to a single method. Jill commonly draws from client-centered ways of working to keep sessions collaborative and respectful.
She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thought and behavior and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation when needed. Jill has experience addressing co-occurring concerns such as mood disorders, process and substance addictions, OCD symptoms, panic, and issues linked to immigration and guilt.
She describes sessions as tailored to each person’s goals and pace, with attention to sensitivity and practical problem solving. Based in Michigan, Jill offers services in English. She supports parents who are looking for clear strategies and steadier routines, while also helping people facing women's issues, social anxiety, narcissistic dynamics, and other complex patterns.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and guides the session with empathy and listening. Online sessions use that same focus to set goals, check progress, and adjust what’s working.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice thought and behavior patterns and practice different responses. In virtual sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, setting small experiments to try between meetings, and reviewing what changed.
Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style techniques are useful for impulse control, managing strong emotions, and improving relationships, all of which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging make short check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit in. These options help people maintain consistency and use therapy tools between sessions.
