About Jennifer
Jennifer Plesz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She draws on personal experience and professional training to help people move past obstacles and reach practical goals. Jennifer focuses on clear, real-world strategies rather than clinical jargon.
She speaks plainly and makes space for each person's story. Her background includes a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Wayne State University. Jennifer uses a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She often helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching coping skills and new ways to react to difficult moments. Jennifer also supports people facing relationship strain, career challenges, parenting stress, grief, and life transitions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and topics tied to identity and intimacy.
Her work includes concerns related to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and caregiver stress. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Jennifer helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track progress between meetings.
She also uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques when the situation calls for helping people connect with feelings and values. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act on values that matter. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes that keep people from their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and allows people to set the pace and focus in sessions; it supports building confidence and exploring personal choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together so the plan fits the person's goals and preferences. Choices can change over time as progress is made and needs shift, and sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and full conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
