About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Jocelyn lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her approaches and draws on several other methods to address complex situations.
She often helps people who are dealing with communication problems, blended family issues, and family of origin concerns. Jocelyn also works with people impacted by narcissism, post-traumatic stress, somatization, and intimacy-related struggles. Sessions tend to emphasize practical skills alongside understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. When trauma is involved she incorporates trauma-focused and somatic methods to address body-based responses and traumatic memories. Treatment plans are developed with specific, doable steps people can try between sessions.
Jocelyn has spent much of her career working in settings that included children and adolescents and family-systems work, though this profile does not list particular age groups she currently sees. She describes being direct and curious in sessions and aims to help clients turn insights into real changes in daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in Pennsylvania. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jocelyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short exercises, and homework tasks to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety and stress.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that move a situation forward. That method focuses on what works now and on specific next steps rather than long explorations alone. When trauma is a concern, Jocelyn combines trauma-focused and somatic practices to address how the body holds stress and to work with traumatic memories in a paced way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jocelyn will discuss goals, preferences, and any past experiences with therapy to recommend which methods to try first. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan based on how well techniques fit the client's needs.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join without travel. Licensed professionals can use a mix of focused skill practice, brief problem-solving, and trauma-informed pacing that translates well to remote sessions.
