About Jennifer
Jennifer Schlegel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma, obsessive behaviors, hoarding, body image concerns, and panic attacks.
She favors a present-focused, here-and-now approach in sessions. That means conversations concentrate on current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Jennifer aims to make the space open and nonjudgmental so people can talk honestly about what’s happening for them.
Her work blends several practical methods. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and acceptance tools are used to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions tend to be collaborative. Jennifer helps people set small, doable goals and practices techniques during sessions. She also offers short coaching between visits through messaging when that fits a person's needs and schedule.
Jennifer is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and has a long history of client work. She keeps things direct and simple, focusing on what can make life feel more manageable now. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then move toward actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, and avoidance behaviors by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills for anxiety, mood issues, and panic attacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. Changes are gradual and shaped together, with adjustments made when something is not working.
Confirm session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it can reduce travel and allow sessions during early morning or other convenient times. Online sessions also make it simpler to practice coping skills between meetings using messaging or brief check-ins when that matches the therapist's offerings. Ask about her current session times and the ways she uses messaging or phone contact to support ongoing work.
