Jennifer Dasti , LPC

Jennifer Dasti is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She earned her master’s degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and holds the LPC credential, which indicates she is licensed to provide professional counseling in the state. Her background includes significant work in community and nonprofit settings where she focused on making mental health support more accessible and affordable.

Much of her career has been in crisis intervention, supporting people through some of their lowest moments. She has helped clients address stress and anxiety, motivation and self-esteem concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Her areas of experience also include work with trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, family difficulties, and issues affecting young adults and women.

Therapeutically she draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients’ unique strengths are identified and brought into treatment. Her style blends active listening with practical skill-building, and she often incorporates acceptance and gentle humor while helping clients align day-to-day choices with their values.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and encourages actions guided by personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations that involve major life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships - approaches that are often helpful for impulsivity, self-harm behaviors, and crisis situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may include skill practice, values exploration, and short-term problem solving, tailored to the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home, while allowing for consistent, ongoing support that adapts to a client’s life and responsibilities.
