About Jennifer

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience, Jennifer Schlegel helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse. She works with a range of related concerns including body image, guilt and shame, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic, phobias, social anxiety, and trichotillomania. Jennifer uses present-focused methods and invites straightforward conversation about what is happening now.

Jennifer favors practical, in-session work. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions emphasize noticing current thoughts and feelings, testing small changes, and building skills for handling intense emotions.

Her style is direct and focused on what a person can do between sessions. People can expect to talk through recent struggles, practice new responses, and set short, achievable tasks. She uses simple exercises aimed at reducing distress and increasing day-to-day functioning.

Jennifer brings two decades of clinical experience to common mood and anxiety problems. That background informs how she structures sessions and selects tools to try. She often leans on evidence-based strategies while keeping conversations grounded and clear.

Practical details are worked out during intake. Clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her methods translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when worry or avoidance limit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense reactions and reduce impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will help clients and therapists identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats that choice as collaborative and will try concrete techniques in session to see what helps.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and using shorter check-ins when needed. The biography lists phone, chat, and messaging options and notes early morning live session times; confirm current session formats before booking. Online formats can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent with day-to-day responsibilities.
