About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a core framework alongside mindfulness, somatic, solution-focused, and trauma-focused techniques to help clients address relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and parenting. Her training and long tenure in a variety of settings have informed a flexible, skills-oriented practice that emphasizes practical tools and insight.
Her style is warm, open, and curious, pairing empathy with direct, goal-focused guidance to support clients in making changes. Jocelyn has worked extensively with family systems and trauma narratives and often integrates creative treatment planning to meet each person’s needs.
She attends to blended family dynamics, communication problems, family-of-origin concerns, narcissistic patterns, post-traumatic stress, and somatization when relevant. Jocelyn frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors interventions to individual goals.
She offers appointments through multiple online formats and structures work so clients can build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward clearer relationships and daily functioning.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Jocelyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and relationship strain through practical skill-building. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and coping with intrusive memories or strong emotions. Trauma-focused techniques are integrated when past traumatic events are a central concern, helping clients process trauma narratives and develop safety and stabilization strategies.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jocelyn partners with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring, tailoring a blend of methods rather than relying on a single modality. This shared decision-making helps identify whether CBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused work, or a mix of techniques will best support progress.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend consistently, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited, while allowing licensed professionals to adapt interventions to each medium.
