Jennifer Dasti , LPC

Jennifer Dasti is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for women and others coping with grief, trauma, mood concerns, and workplace strain. Jennifer works to create a relaxed space where people can speak honestly and be heard.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior skills for strong emotions, and acceptance-based work to connect actions to core values. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build skills that the person can use outside of therapy.

Jennifer has six years of experience and holds a Master’s degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and the LPC credential. Much of her background is in crisis intervention at community and nonprofit programs. That work informs a pragmatic style that focuses on safety, stabilization, and practical next steps.

In sessions she listens, checks in about what matters most, and helps people practice small changes that add up. She brings warmth, a direct style, and occasional humor to ease difficult conversations. Many clients find this approach useful when coping with identity and relationship stress, compassion fatigue, or feeling stuck.

Her goal is to support people as they take the first steps toward change, clarify values, and build daily habits that fit their life and priorities.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It helps with low motivation, life purpose questions, and coping with mood challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity, self-harm urges, and overwhelming stress.

Choosing the right approach happens together. Jennifer will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and daily routines, then suggest methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it fits changing needs and real-life demands.

Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls let a therapist demonstrate skills and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief skill practice, mood tracking, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These formats offer flexibility so therapeutic work can fit into busy days and different schedules.
