About Jennifer
Jennifer Plesz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She draws on a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling and five years of clinical experience to help people face challenges and move toward their goals. Her own experience with major life changes informs a straightforward, empathetic style in sessions.
Jennifer focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and grief. She also addresses relationship and communication struggles, career and academic questions, and adjustment after life changes. Clients seeking support around parenting, intimacy, or self-esteem may also find her approach relevant.
Her work blends several practical therapies. Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to clarify values and take workable steps toward them. Client-centered listening is a core part of each conversation, making space for what matters to the person in front of her.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Jennifer helps people set small, doable steps and checks progress each visit. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when the situation calls for deeper exploration of relationships or meaning.
People looking for help with trauma, adoption and foster care issues, autism-related concerns, caregiving stress, or family of origin patterns can bring those topics into work together. Jennifer works in English and practices in Michigan as an LPC.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that keep problems going and testing new behaviors to change outcomes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience through empathic listening and collaboration, which supports people who need to feel heard while they sort out next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also make sessions accessible when a quieter space or less screen time is needed. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and scheduling so sessions suit everyday life.
