About Jennifer
Jennifer Schlegel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience practicing in Pennsylvania. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse. Jennifer names motivation, hoarding, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and obsessive concerns among other issues she addresses. Sessions are described as present-focused and grounded in the here and now.
Her style centers on clear, practical conversation. She leans on evidence-informed approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. In a typical session she talks through current patterns, identifies unhelpful thinking, and practices skills to respond differently to strong feelings.
Jennifer often works with clients who are dealing with anger that shows up at work, at home, or inside relationships with themselves. She helps people notice what happens right before anger escalates and tries alternative strategies for pausing and deciding next steps. She also addresses related problems like panic, phobias, social anxiety, and mood shifts.
Her background includes licensure in Pennsylvania as an LPC and two decades of clinical work across settings. She notes a present-oriented approach and an emphasis on practical skill building rather than long theoretical discussions.
People who choose her often want straightforward methods they can use in daily life. To begin she asks clients to describe current concerns and goals, then together they pick steps to practice between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anger that persists because of unhelpful thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to what is happening in the moment and can reduce impulsive reactions to strong emotions.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find practical tools a person will actually use between sessions.
The biography notes phone, chat, and messaging as formats currently offered, so confirm the exact session options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so skills get practiced in everyday situations rather than only during sessions.
