Jocelyn Schiffhouer, LPC

Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in northwestern Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and adolescents across a variety of clinical settings. As an LPC, she is licensed to provide professional counseling services in Pennsylvania and has developed extensive experience working with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes.

Her clinical work often centers on children and adolescents, family systems, and trauma-narrative approaches, and she has addressed a wide range of related issues including blended family dynamics, communication problems, family-of-origin concerns, narcissistic behaviors, post-traumatic stress, and somatization. Over two decades of practice have given her the opportunity to refine skills that support clients facing marital conflict, mood disorders, and other emotional difficulties.

Jocelyn’s counseling style is described by her as open, warm, accepting, and curious. She brings creativity to treatment planning, offering empathic and supportive guidance while remaining direct when helping clients move toward meaningful change. She tailors discussions and plans to each person’s needs, and she values the courage it takes for someone to reach out for support and work toward identified goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jocelyn Schiffhouer

Jocelyn employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions and practical day-to-day challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy is another central approach she uses, involving careful exploration of trauma narratives and strategies to process traumatic experiences and reduce the ongoing impact of past abuse or post-traumatic stress. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on practical goals and steps that lead to tangible improvements in relationships, parenting, and communication.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jocelyn works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment plans over time so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for clients managing busy schedules or family responsibilities. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that best suits each client and situation.
