Jennifer Plesz

Jennifer Plesz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings five years of clinical experience and a background in rehabilitation counseling to her work. Jennifer draws on her own experience overcoming major life obstacles to connect with people facing hard transitions. She aims to help clients find practical ways forward and rebuild momentum when life feels overwhelming.

Jennifer focuses on everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She also helps people coping with grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, and career or academic decisions. Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and issues related to adoption, foster care, autism spectrum, body image, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she uses clear, straightforward tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also integrates client-centered and existential ideas to match each person's needs. Her style is practical and empathetic, aimed at helping people make small changes that matter.

Jennifer earned a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling from Wayne State University and holds the LPC credential. She works in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist who focuses on real-life coping strategies may find her approach helpful.

To begin, prospective clients follow a short intake path to match with her and schedule sessions according to her availability. The process starts with the Start Therapy button and a brief questionnaire.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values. It emphasizes learning to accept difficult feelings while building a meaningful direction for life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions to improve how they relate to others and to themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process shapes a plan and can mix techniques from different approaches as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions. The therapist will help arrange sessions in a way that matches each person's routine and goals.
