About Jillian
Jillian Dossett is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jillian also focuses on issues such as body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and workplace stress.
Her background includes time as a school social worker supporting young people and young adults. That work involved helping people manage anxiety, build confidence, and navigate difficult relationships. She draws on that hands-on experience when talking with adults about current struggles and past hurts.
In sessions she aims to tailor the conversation and treatment plan to each person's needs. That means discussing what matters most, trying different ways of looking at the problem, and practicing specific skills to handle distress. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, with attention on what the person wants to change.
Jillian describes respectful and sensitive interaction as central to her practice. She encourages people who are carrying guilt, shame, or self-criticism to name those feelings and to look at how they show up in daily life. She helps people work through communication patterns, mood symptoms, and panic or stress responses in clear, step-by-step ways.

Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Jillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear conversation. One approach she employs centers on recognizing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with panic, social anxiety, and repetitive self-criticism. Another common focus is trauma-informed work that helps people name painful experiences, understand how they affect current feelings, and learn ways to manage strong reactions.Deciding what fits best is collaborative. Jillian will discuss different approaches with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. She aims to be straightforward about methods so people know what to expect in sessions.
