Jennifer Schlegel, LPC

Jennifer Schlegel, LPC, helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and effects of trauma and abuse. She welcomes straightforward conversations about hard thoughts and daily habits, and aims to make the first step feel achievable. Her style is calm and present-focused, and she encourages practical steps people can use between visits.

With 22 years of experience, Jennifer uses methods that focus on the current moment and on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches to tailor work to each person. Sessions emphasize noticing thoughts, choosing values-based actions, and building small routines that make daily life easier.

Jennifer is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia. She often meets people who struggle with obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, body image concerns, hoarding, trichotillomania, and lingering effects of past trauma. Her experience includes mood disorders and a range of anxiety-related concerns.

In conversation she focuses on clarity and practical strategies. Expect straightforward explanations, practice exercises, and a plan you can try between meetings. She notes that live session times are often scheduled in the early morning.

If you want to begin, the next step is to use the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the brief matching questionnaire. That helps match your needs to possible scheduling options and then you can arrange sessions that fit your life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxiety and change everyday habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which is useful for stress, panic, and repeated compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques and adjusts the plan based on what helps in real life, so clients have a say in how therapy proceeds.

Because session options are confirmed during the site’s matching and scheduling process, please check current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-world settings and then discuss how they went in the next session.
