   About Jennifer

   Jennifer Schlegel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns like hoarding, body image struggles, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic, phobias, and trichotillomania. She keeps language simple and practical so overwhelmed parents can read quickly and decide if she might help.

   Jennifer uses a present-focused style that helps people talk about what is happening now. She encourages open, nonjudgmental conversation so thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. Her approach is collaborative and respects each person's pace and motivation.

   Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to shape short-term goals, teach skills, and build everyday routines that reduce distress.

   Jennifer is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LPC. She often offers early morning session times. The intake process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on her availability.

   She aims to make the first step easier. Questions about session timing, formats, or fit can be asked before booking so families know what to expect.

2. How her approaches shape online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing helps people notice their own reasons for change and build momentum at a comfortable pace. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting personal motivation without pressure.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to live around difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. It uses values and small committed actions to move toward a life that matters to the person.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood problems to reduce symptoms through practical exercises.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels doable in day-to-day life. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions so they fit timing and priorities.
   
   Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people attend early morning sessions more easily when those times work best. Ask about specific session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule.
