Jennifer Maise-Cormier , LPC

Jennifer Maise-Cormier is an addiction specialist in Michigan who focuses on helping people rebuild their lives by changing self-destructive habits. She has provided intensive outpatient group therapy (IOP) to people of all ages for over 10 years, guiding participants through practical skills and structured support to regain control and make healthier choices.

She holds an LPC, which means Licensed Professional Counselor, and is also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) - an advanced credential for addiction counseling in Michigan. Those credentials reflect her clinical training and specialized focus on substance use and recovery. Jennifer prioritizes listening closely and understanding each person as a whole - their background, current challenges, and future goals - then collaborates with them to identify strategies that work.

Her approach emphasizes concrete habit-change work, brainstorming alternatives to previously tried methods, and helping people restore their decision-making after addiction has taken hold. Outside of counseling, Jennifer enjoys northern Michigan, kayaking with her dogs, biking both with and without motors, and exploring the world.

Evidence-based addiction and coaching approaches for online care

Jennifer Maise-Cormier uses intensive outpatient group therapy (IOP) as a central approach, delivering structured group sessions that teach skills for recovery, relapse prevention, and healthier daily routines. IOP is designed for people who benefit from regular, focused sessions without full residential treatment.

She also integrates addiction-focused counseling informed by her CAADC credential, concentrating on habit change, decision-making, and rebuilding control over choices that addiction has affected. This work often includes practical strategies and coaching techniques to support sustained change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adjust methods over time and prioritize approaches that feel most helpful.

Online therapy with Jennifer is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, participate from home or elsewhere, and choose the format that best supports progress.
