About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, intimacy issues, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on blended family issues, communication problems, family of origin issues, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, and somatization.
Her background includes work across multiple settings and with varied age groups. That history means she has spent substantial time on family systems work and trauma-narrative approaches. In session she uses practical methods to address current problems rather than only talking about the past.
Jocelyn draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try small changes that reduce day-to-day distress. She also integrates mindfulness techniques to bring attention to bodily experience and Somatic and Trauma-Focused approaches when physical responses to stress are part of the picture.
Sessions tend to focus on realistic goals like improving communication, managing anxiety and depressive symptoms, clarifying parenting strategies, and untangling family-of-origin patterns that continue to influence current relationships. She aims to work directly and collaboratively so clients can try new behaviors between meetings.
People who come for help can expect clear, practical conversation and a plan for next steps. To begin, visitors should use the site button to see online therapy options, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jocelyn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions usually include setting small goals and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to increase awareness of present-moment experience and Somatic Therapy when physical sensations are part of distress. Mindfulness exercises can help with stress regulation, while somatic methods attend to how the body holds tension or activation after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jocelyn will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That collaborative process may combine elements of CBT, mindfulness, and somatic or trauma-focused methods to match what the client finds most useful.
