About Jillian
Jillian Dossett is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Jillian also focuses on body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Before moving into adult outpatient work she spent time working in a school setting as a school social worker. That role involved supporting young people and coordinating care, and it shaped how she talks about motivation and confidence with clients. Her practice emphasizes clear, direct conversation about what feels hard right now.
In sessions she helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations move toward practical steps - small behavior changes, clearer communication, or manageable ways to face anxiety or panic. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress while keeping explanations straightforward.
Jillian adapts the way she works to match each person’s situation and goals. She discusses options for pacing, homework, and problem-solving rather than promising a single path. People often come for help after a change in work, relationships, or health and want to figure out what comes next.
Her approach is respectful and attentive to the realities people bring into sessions. She speaks English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW. If you want to learn more about session structure or next steps she asks that you use the site process to begin the matching and scheduling flow.
Therapeutic techniques and working online
Jillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing current patterns and reducing symptoms. One common approach is structured, skills-based work that teaches specific strategies for managing anxiety and panic, such as grounding and breathing exercises and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These practices aim to reduce intense physical reactions and improve daily functioning.She also employs problem-solving and behavioral strategies to address mood and workplace issues. That involves breaking larger problems into smaller tasks, testing changes in behavior, and improving routines that affect mood and motivation. For relationship and communication concerns she focuses on clearer, practical communication skills and role-based practice to try new ways of talking and setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. Jillian will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in on what is helping and what feels like too much, and adjusts pace and focus together.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time from a workday.
