About Jill
Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, client-centered care. She meets people where they are and helps them manage stress, anger, and anxiety. Her approach is straightforward and respectful and aims to make small changes that add up over time.
Jill uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen first and shape sessions around each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and handling strong impulses. She has eight years of professional experience and has worked with concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, and trauma. Jill also addresses related areas like grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, and issues tied to immigration or guilt and shame.
Her background includes helping people facing process addictions and mood disorders. In sessions she aims to be practical and clear. Conversations focus on which thoughts and habits are keeping someone stuck and what small steps could help.
She and the client set goals together and track progress over time. Jill practices in Michigan and provides care in English. She adapts her style to fit each person’s pace, whether they want short, skills-focused sessions or deeper weekly work.

How client-centered approaches translate to online therapy
Jill commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions by following the person’s concerns and priorities. This means the therapist listens closely and adapts the session to what matters most in that moment, which can help when working on stress, anger, or relationship strain.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive actions, which can be helpful for anger and addictions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest approaches to try and adjust them over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when writing things out helps. These options aim to make scheduling easier and therapy more accessible for busy lives.
