About Jennifer

Jennifer Dasti is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and other life changes. Her tone is straightforward and warm, aimed at parents and adults who want clear steps and steady support.

She emphasizes listening first and making space for honest conversation without judgment. Jennifer uses tools from several evidence-based approaches. She often draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking small steps toward them. Much of her work has been in crisis intervention and community settings.

That background shaped a calm, practical way of working when feelings feel overwhelming. She likes to mix practical skills, short-term problem solving, and a focus on what matters most to each person. Sessions are collaborative.

Jennifer listens first, then helps create a plan tailored to current needs. She uses humor and acceptance to reduce shame and build courage for change. Her practice also addresses workplace stress, relationship and communication problems, isolation, impulsivity, mood and personality concerns, and issues common for young adults.

The aim is to help people get through hard moments and build a life that fits their values.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients name what matters most and take small, values-driven steps. ACT focuses on building a meaningful life even while uncomfortable feelings remain present. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and routine problems that respond to new thinking and actions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. Over time they adjust the plan based on what helps most so the work fits daily life and real needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, return to sessions from home, and use different formats for skills practice and check-ins. The focus remains on clear tools and steady support that suit each person’s routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
