About Jennifer

Jennifer Drager is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She draws on a straightforward, respectful style and focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

Before licensure she spent years working in the child welfare system. That background informs her work with parents and adults who are connected to adoption, foster care, or family systems. She also has experience supporting people coping with trauma, co-morbid concerns, codependency, and substance-related problems.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, measurable steps. Jennifer uses a mix of client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot patterns and try different responses. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to shift unhelpful stories and build practical strategies for daily life.

Her approach is collaborative: the person in therapy helps shape what gets tried next. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions often include skill practice, coaching on communication, and planning for handling difficult moments.

Jennifer works in English and accepts international clients. Her stated experience as a counselor spans three years since becoming license eligible in 2019, alongside prior work in the child welfare field. If someone is ready to take a step toward change she offers supportive, goal-focused help.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps someone try small, practical changes and track what works, which is useful for anger, anxiety, or depression.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure or stuck about change by exploring their own reasons and goals. It is often used with addiction-related or behavior-change work.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your routine and daily life so sessions support real change without adding burden.
