About Jennifer
Jennifer Plesz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings five years of counseling experience and a background in rehabilitation counseling to her work. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people manage stress and anxiety while moving toward clearer goals.
Jennifer draws on simple, concrete tools that clients can use between sessions. She helps people who are facing depression, career questions, relationship tension, grief, and other life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, workable steps and clearer decision making rather than overwhelming theory. Clients often explore patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Jennifer uses methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also integrates emotion-focused ideas to improve understanding and connection in close relationships. Her history in rehabilitation counseling contributes to a focus on practical problem solving and life transitions. Jennifer can support people dealing with parenting strain, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, body image concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or cancer.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to help connect with the right therapist and schedule a session that fits the client's routine.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful when anxiety or uncertainty keeps someone from moving toward important life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT works well for people who want step-by-step strategies to change how they think and behave.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk through goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on how a client responds. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit a person’s needs, pace, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes counseling easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility for scheduling, different communication styles, and varying levels of time commitment.
