Jennifer Sagle

Jennifer Sagle is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology at Ohio University and completed a master’s degree in counseling, and she now practices in Ohio. She combines practical skills with straightforward guidance to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Her approach is flexible and goal-focused. She uses familiar tools such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and a person-centered stance. Sessions often include skill building, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and small experiments to test new ways of coping.

Jennifer has worked with many common concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with career questions, sleep and eating struggles, and major life changes. Additional focus areas include caregiving stress, communication problems, body image concerns, abandonment issues, and first responder stress.

Her style is direct but compassionate. She aims to notice what a client cannot see yet and to offer clear feedback that moves things forward. Goals are set together and the work is tailored to each person’s priorities.

Clients can expect a pragmatic therapist who teaches tools to use outside sessions. The aim is to leave therapy with skills that help after regular sessions have ended. If the reader wants to explore whether her way of working fits, they are encouraged to begin the matching process and schedule a session.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then taking action toward valued goals. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and practicing small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical techniques like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and change patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to pay attention on purpose and can reduce reactivity to stress and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to practice skills learned in sessions during the same day, which can speed learning and keep momentum between meetings.
