About Jennifer
Jennifer Schlegel is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at making early progress on the problems that feel most urgent.
She focuses on what is happening right now and on steps clients can take between sessions. Jennifer uses straightforward talk therapy combined with skill-building exercises.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning new ways to manage strong emotions and to break unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Her work also addresses related concerns like body image struggles, guilt and shame, hoarding behaviors, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, phobias, and hair-pulling disorders. She tailors techniques to the issue someone brings in, rather than using one fixed approach for everyone.
Jennifer is licensed in Pennsylvania as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC. She is comfortable using a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. Conversations are intended to be nonjudgmental and collaborative.
She often offers phone, live chat, or messaging options and may have early morning session times. To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules a time to meet that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then taking actions that match personal values to move forward.She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness ideas to keep sessions grounded in what matters most to the person. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so therapy fits their needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and clearer nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to arrange consistent work on stress, anger, and other concerns without traveling to an office.
