About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 24 years of experience to her practice in Pennsylvania. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Jocelyn aims to create a warm, open space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Jocelyn uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness and somatic approaches to help clients stay present and notice how emotions show up in the body. Her work includes attention to patterns within family systems and blended family issues. She helps people untangle communication problems, family of origin dynamics, and conflicts that come from living with someone who shows narcissistic traits.
Jocelyn also supports those coping with post-traumatic stress and somatization concerns. Jocelyn describes her style as warm, accepting, and curious. She offers direct feedback while remaining supportive, and she tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with a focus on what someone can do between meetings to feel better. People who choose her often want help improving communication, managing stress, or working through trauma-related responses. Jocelyn encourages clear goal setting and collaborates with each person on steps they can take to meet those goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jocelyn often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or improve mood. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and calming practices that reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation. Occasionally she blends solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track progress in practical steps that feel doable.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jocelyn will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. That means plans may shift as therapy proceeds to better fit what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework support simple to fit into a busy day. These options aim to make scheduling more flexible and to fit therapy into real life.
