Jill Wasserman, LPC

Jill Wasserman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood symptoms, and addiction concerns. Jill speaks English and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.

She focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what feels doable. Jill helps people talk through symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and addresses problems like panic, obsessive behaviors, and compulsive habits.

Jill also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with clients facing relationship strain, parenting stress, immigration issues, and guilt or shame related to behavior. Process addictions such as gambling, exercise, or pornography are included in her experience alongside drug and alcohol concerns.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means sessions often include practical tools, chance to reflect, and attention to coping skills for strong emotions. Jill aims to make each plan fit the person's real life and daily routines.

Sessions can include short-term skill-building or longer work on deeper patterns. Jill encourages small experiments between sessions, like tracking thoughts or trying a new coping skill, so progress is concrete and visible.

CBT and skills-based therapy delivered online

Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing different responses to anxiety, panic, or low mood.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's experience and priorities. This approach means sessions include open listening and collaborative planning so people feel heard while deciding goals and next steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions or impulsivity make daily functioning hard. DBT techniques focus on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for issues like anger, self-harm urges, or relationship conflict.

Jill views finding the right approach as a joint process. She works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. That collaboration helps ensure tools fit daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Many people find remote sessions let them practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
