About Jennifer
Jennifer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns in thoughts and everyday habits that make problems worse. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between appointments. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier behavior, not quick fixes.
Her approach draws from several well-known methods including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered stance. In practice that means working on specific thoughts and routines while also paying attention to values and emotions. Clients often learn coping skills for anxiety, tools for managing anger, and ways to strengthen communication.
Jennifer’s background includes long experience with domestic violence counseling and work with people facing abuse and trauma. She brings that history into current work by helping clients set limits, recover from past harms, and build safer patterns. Her style is plainspoken and collaborative; she talks through steps and checks in about what is working.
If you want to try a focused, habit- and thought-oriented approach, Jennifer can help map out small changes. She encourages people to pace work according to their needs and to build on progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and big life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and routines. That can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, managing emotions, and improving relationships; it is often used for intense emotion and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jennifer works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow for a quieter, less rushed check-in on a lunch break. It also supports keeping work going between sessions by allowing people to practice skills in the environments where they live and work.
