Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 8 years of clinical experience. She provides thoughtful, compassionate care for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

Her approach centers on treating each person with respect and sensitivity while shaping treatment to match individual needs.

Jill collaborates with clients to create a personalized plan, adjusting direction as needs evolve. Taking the first step toward change requires courage, and she aims to support people through that process with practical strategies and steady encouragement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jill Wasserman

Jill commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person's values and goals guide the work and helps with self-exploration and building confidence. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for impulse control, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jill works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to create a personalized plan that evolves over time.

Online therapy provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people connect in ways that fit their life - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
