About Jill
Jill Rountree is a Licensed Master Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life changes. Jill aims to create an accepting space where people can speak honestly and find practical steps forward.
Jill uses a client-centered style that starts with listening to what matters most to each person. She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stress or intense emotions need tools for managing the moment. Jill also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when working with past traumatic events. She builds safety first, using grounding and safe-place techniques before any processing work begins.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for people working on change around substance use or other habits. Her background includes work in correctional facilities, outpatient programs, and integrated health care settings. Jill grew up in southeastern Michigan and now lives in northern Michigan near Traverse City with her family, animals, and twin boys.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. Outside of therapy she is a Registered Yoga Instructor and enjoys cooking, reading, and time outdoors. Jill aims to combine practical skills, steady support, and a calm presence to help people move toward their goals.

Online support
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Jill commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and making the pace fit each person. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses EMDR for people who need support processing past trauma. EMDR includes steps to establish safety and grounding before any memory processing and can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when that step is appropriate.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for more in-depth work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send notes or check in between sessions and can work well for brief support or journaling-style reflection.
