About Jocelyn
Jocelyn Schiffhouer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 24 years of experience to sessions and focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. Jocelyn uses a practical, down-to-earth style to help people manage depression, low self esteem, intimacy-related issues, and life changes.
Her work often includes attention to blended family issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses difficulties related to narcissism, post-traumatic stress, and somatization.
Background and approach
Jocelyn draws on multiple approaches to tailor support to each person's situation. Her approach is open, warm, and curious. Sessions are direct and supportive, with an emphasis on helping people make changes they can use day to day.
She adapts plans to match individual needs and preferences. Jocelyn combines somatic perspectives with cognitive and mindfulness tools when appropriate. That means she pays attention to both bodily experiences and thought patterns during work together.
The goal is to build practical coping skills and clearer communication. Asking for help is hard, and Jocelyn acknowledges that step. She encourages people to bring their stories and goals to sessions and works collaboratively to address the concerns they bring.
Her practice accommodates video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility.
How somatic and practical approaches work online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress. Online sessions can still use breath work, grounding, body awareness, and movement prompts that help people notice and shift physical responses tied to trauma or anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions this often means practicing skill-building, reviewing thought records, and setting short homework tasks between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity. Guided breathing and attention practices translate well to video or phone formats and support coping with stress and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jocelyn will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. She combines somatic awareness, cognitive tools, and mindfulness practices as appropriate, and adjusts as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, continue work between appointments, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and tailor plans to each person's life.
