About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to conversations about relationships, parenting, and trauma-related concerns. Jocelyn aims to create a warm, open space where people can talk through difficult moments and find clear, workable steps forward.
She uses practical methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on trauma-focused and somatic approaches when past hurts affect daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward skills, short-term planning, and attention to how the body holds stress. Jocelyn emphasizes concrete communication work for people dealing with family tensions, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She helps clients identify patterns that keep problems repeating and try different ways of responding.
That can mean practicing new conversation habits, shifting expectations, or setting clearer boundaries. Her style is described as warm, curious, and direct. She listens first and then offers tailored strategies that fit each person’s goals and situation.
Treatment plans are practical and adapted as progress is made. Jocelyn has considerable experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and somatization concerns. She combines narrative work about difficult memories with body-focused techniques when appropriate.
The aim is to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning through gradual, manageable steps.

Online approaches that focus on skills and healing
Jocelyn uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT tends to focus on small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy is used to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity; it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and managing difficult emotions. Trauma-focused therapy guides careful work on past events in ways that reduce their impact on daily life, often pairing memory work with present-day coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jocelyn will discuss options and help choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to share notes, get brief support, or maintain continuity between longer sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
