About Jennifer
Jennifer Drager is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with three years of licensed experience. She helps people manage anger as well as relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life problems rather than labels.
Her background includes work in the child welfare system and work with individuals connected to adoption and foster care. That work brought experience with communication problems between parents and children and with overlapping issues such as co-morbidity and codependency. She also has experience supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction and family problems.
Jennifer uses straightforward approaches in sessions. She centers conversations on the client's goals and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. Narrative and solution-focused techniques help people reframe problems and develop short-term steps toward change.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and to find their own reasons for doing things differently. Trauma-informed methods are part of her work with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.
Practical concerns are the focus in sessions: improving communication, reducing angry outbursts, managing stress at work, and building steady routines. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Jennifer applies therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person steer sessions toward what matters most, which can be useful for sorting out anger and relationship friction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It helps people spot thinking patterns that lead to anger and then practice different responses or coping skills in daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels torn about making changes. The method uses guided conversation to clarify personal reasons for change and to build momentum without pressure.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision may shift as progress is made.
