About Jennifer

Jennifer Drager is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with three years of post-licensure experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction concerns, trauma and other family problems. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life to reduce tension and improve communication.

Her background includes work in child welfare and work supporting parents and caregivers through difficult family situations. That experience informs how she talks about parenting, adoption and foster care issues, and co-occurring concerns like substance use and codependency. She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse and with those managing attention and mood differences.

In sessions she uses a client-centered approach, which means conversations start from what matters to the person. Jennifer also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on narrative and solution-focused strategies to find what changes feel realistic. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are weighing change and need a nudge to move forward.

Her style is straightforward and focused on skills you can try between visits. People can expect the therapist to listen, reflect, and offer specific strategies for communication, anger management, coping with stress, and addressing addictive behaviors. Progress is tracked through short, practical goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and the practice accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, the site matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client identify what matters most so sessions stay relevant and practical. This approach supports people who are struggling with relationship conflicts, parenting challenges, or ongoing anger by centering their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, and behaviors linked to addiction.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style used when someone is unsure about change. It helps people weigh pros and cons, find personal reasons to act, and move toward small, achievable steps. This can be helpful for parenting decisions, managing substance use, or committing to new habits.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is revisited as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or other obligations and can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Ask about format length and any practical arrangements when you schedule the first visit.
