Jill Rountree

Jill Rountree is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and major life changes. Her tone in session is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping people take steps that feel manageable right now.

She uses a client-centered approach, which means she starts by listening and following each person's priorities. Jill draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach mindfulness and skills for tolerating distress.

Jill has worked in correctional facilities, outpatient programs, and integrated health care settings, which has shaped a flexible, realistic style. She trained in social work at Wayne State University and studied sociology at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. Her work reflects both clinical skills and an interest in practical tools people can use day to day.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is part of her practice when addressing past trauma, and she pairs it with grounding and safe-place techniques before processing begins. Outside of therapy, Jill is a Registered Yoga Instructor and a parent, and she often brings a calm, steady presence into sessions informed by those life roles.

Jill is based in Michigan. She offers therapy in English and can help people work through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, ADHD symptoms, and burnout related to caregiving or compassion fatigue.

How Jill Uses Trauma-Focused and Skill-Based Approaches Online

Jill integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways people can access remotely. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past hurt and reduce its impact on daily life by pairing careful preparation with trauma processing techniques. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening first and shaping sessions around each person's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She may combine approaches over time, checking in regularly to adjust what they focus on together.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people use techniques and homework between sessions that help learning stick. If you want to explore trauma processing, CBT skill practice, or a client-led conversation style, discuss your goals and preferences when you schedule so sessions can be shaped to your life.
