Jillian Dossett, LMSW

Jillian Dossett is a Michigan-licensed clinician who brings thoughtful, compassionate care to people navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and has worked in school settings as a School Social Worker supporting children and young adults aged 5 to 26.

Her professional background includes helping clients build motivation, confidence, and practical coping strategies for everyday challenges. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and empathy, adapting conversations and treatment plans to reflect the individual needs and goals of those she sees. Jillian emphasizes a collaborative process that centers the client’s experience and preferences while applying evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address presenting concerns.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Jillian acknowledges and honors that commitment. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore concerns, learn skills, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-Based Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Jillian employs evidence-based, skills-focused approaches that help clients manage stress and anxiety by teaching practical coping strategies, breathing and grounding techniques, and problem-solving skills to reduce daily distress and improve functioning. She also brings a trauma-informed perspective that prioritizes safety, pacing, and building resilience for people processing experiences of trauma and abuse, helping them develop coping tools and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Jillian works together with each person to identify goals, try techniques that fit their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made so treatment feels personalized and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels with technology, and those who need support from different locations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access regular support, and practice skills between sessions in ways that suit each client’s life.
