About Jennifer
Jennifer Plesz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who draws on five years of clinical experience to help people move past obstacles and pursue clearer goals. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand each person’s situation before choosing practical steps forward.
Her background includes a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling from Wayne State University and hands-on work with diverse life challenges. Jennifer focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with career concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. Her practice includes support around adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. In sessions she uses approaches that fit the person’s needs.
She draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters, and Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space for talking. Her style is direct but compassionate.
She helps people set small, doable goals and practice new skills between meetings. That can mean planning steps for work, trying coping tools for anxiety, or practicing communication techniques at home. Jennifer offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are part of a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the first step is to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when people want clearer direction and purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with stress by teaching straightforward coping skills and behavior changes.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace. That approach supports people who need a steady space to talk through difficult feelings and make their own choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She’ll suggest methods to try and adjust them based on how each person responds, keeping the process collaborative.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
