Jennifer Sagle, LPCC, LMHC

Jennifer Sagle is a licensed professional clinical counselor and licensed mental health counselor with more than 26 years in practice. She trained in psychology at Ohio University and completed a master of education in counseling. Jennifer has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma and abuse.

She helps people by listening closely and reflecting what they may not see themselves. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build skills that work in daily life.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment approaches, mindfulness, and person-centered methods. Jennifer mixes techniques to match what each person needs rather than following a single method. She aims to teach tools clients can keep using after therapy ends.

Her background includes long clinical experience across different settings, and she has provided care for people facing complicated grief, obsessive behaviors, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related concerns. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, balancing challenge with empathy.

Outside work she recently returned to Ohio after many years in Florida. She enjoys hiking, watching birds, and feeding deer. Those quieter interests inform a calm, steady presence in sessions and a practical focus on realistic change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-based steps so clients can take action toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often uses practical exercises between sessions to build new habits and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time, and adjustments are made together as progress is assessed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help make regular therapy more manageable while focusing on skill building and real-life practice.
