About Jennifer

Jennifer Bruni is a licensed professional counselor who has worked in Pennsylvania for 13 years. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. Her style is warm and approachable, and she aims to create a calm space where parents and adults can speak honestly and feel heard.

Jennifer builds rapport quickly to form a working relationship based on trust and respect. She centers conversations on practical steps that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a steady, understandable pace so people can try new ways of handling problems between meetings. Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused work. She blends these methods to match what each person or family needs rather than using one fixed approach.

Jennifer helps with parenting strain, burnout, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, and challenges common to members of the LGBT community. She also supports people coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, panic attacks, social anxiety, and young adult issues. Conversations in her sessions are direct but compassionate.

She works with clients to set realistic goals and to practice small changes that add up. The focus is on clearer communication, more manageable stress, and practical strategies that fit family life.

Flexible approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse, which often helps with anxiety, panic, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving connection in relationships, making it helpful for relationship and family tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine techniques from different approaches and adjust them over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to family life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These options allow people to connect from home, coordinate around childcare, or check in between meetings. The variety of formats supports flexible, ongoing care that matches how families live and communicate.

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.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
