Jennifer Maise-Cormier , LPC

Jennifer Maise-Cormier is an addiction specialist based in Michigan who has spent more than a decade providing intensive group therapy through an intensive outpatient program (IOP). She works with people of all ages to help them learn new habits and replace behaviors that have caused harm in their lives. Jennifer emphasizes getting to know the whole person - their history, their current challenges, and the goals they want to reach - so treatment can be practical and tailored to each individual's needs.

She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a professional license to provide counseling services, and as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), a high-level certification in Michigan for substance use counseling. Jennifer approaches addiction as a disease that often takes over decision-making, and she focuses on helping people reclaim their ability to make healthier choices. Listening attentively and truly hearing what someone says is central to her work, and she uses collaborative brainstorming to explore what has already been tried and alternative strategies to address habits.

Outside of her clinical work, Jennifer enjoys northern Michigan, kayaking with her mutts, biking both with motors and without, and exploring the wider world.

Evidence-Based Addiction Care Delivered Online

Jennifer brings experience leading intensive outpatient group therapy (IOP), a structured program that focuses on skill building, relapse prevention, and peer support to help people change patterns that harm their lives. That group IOP work is complemented by evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person - practical interventions aimed at changing behaviors, improving coping skills, and supporting recovery from substance use and related challenges.

Her approach is collaborative: she works with clients to identify goals, review what has been tried, and select techniques that fit each person’s needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jennifer and a client explore options together to determine what feels most helpful and sustainable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These flexible formats support continuity of care and make it possible to engage in treatment without travel, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who specialize in addiction and related concerns.
