About Jill
LMSW clinician in Michigan with 10 years of experience, Jill Rountree helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She uses client-centered work alongside practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical skills, EMDR, and motivational interviewing.
Jill meets people where they are and focuses on clear, usable techniques. Sessions often look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She also teaches mindfulness and distress-tolerance skills drawn from DBT, and uses EMDR when processing past traumatic experiences becomes appropriate.
Her background spans correctional settings, outpatient care, and integrated health clinics. Jill earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. She brings ten years of direct clinical work to her practice in Michigan.
In practical terms, therapy with Jill tends to mix listening with concrete tools. That can mean learning short grounding exercises, trying behavior experiments between sessions, or practicing emotional regulation skills together. EMDR is used with preparatory work to ensure clients have safety and stabilization skills before trauma processing begins.
Outside of clinical work she is a Registered Yoga Instructor and spends time with her family, children, and animals in Northern Michigan. Her everyday interests include cooking, reading, and outdoor activities that help balance a busy life.

How Jill Uses Specific Approaches in Remote Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps clarify what matters most and shapes goals around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches experiments and skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes mindfulness and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss options and help decide what to try first based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Remote work also supports practicing skills in everyday settings and can make scheduling around family or work easier.
