About Jennifer
Jennifer Schlegel is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 22 years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Social anxiety and phobia are among the concerns she lists. She also works with trauma, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic, and body-focused repetitive behaviors.
Her approach focuses on the present moment and practical steps. She uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to notice patterns of thought and reduce avoidance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and dialectical behavior techniques are woven into sessions when helpful.
Sessions tend to emphasize short-term skills and everyday practice. Clients can expect work on breathing and grounding, spotting unhelpful thinking, and testing out small behavioral changes. Jennifer aims to make these steps clear and doable between appointments.
She has experience across a wide range of mood and anxiety concerns, including panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and hoarding. The focus can move between improving day-to-day functioning and addressing longer-standing habits that cause distress.
Jennifer prefers a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals central. Conversations are straightforward and oriented toward what someone wants to change. People are invited to try different strategies and see what helps in their life.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and then choose actions that match their values; this can help with social anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which is useful for panic, phobias, and compulsive habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in anxiety-provoking moments. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, then adding ACT or mindfulness tools if those fit better. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since options were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio rather than always being on camera. These practical benefits can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.Areas of expertise
