Jennifer has been a great help to me in recent months as I processed through several big life changes and grief over a recent loss. I value the resources she shared with me to use between our sessions they helped me make progress on my own and gave me tools to use when new things came up.

Hello,
My name is Jennifer Murphy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania. I have worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 20 years, and my expertise is related to working with individuals that experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relational conflict, etc. I am trauma-informed and DBT certified. I have a particular love for working with first responders and the military as I was a former U.S. soldier.
I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as my strong points. I love helping clients challenge their thought distortions and make behavioral changes that are needed to boost their overall chance for success. Additionally, the use of DBT allows me to teach clients distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that greatly enhance their ability to recover.
In terms of my work with couples, I offer a 10-week program that goes over a specific set of skills in each session. I teach clients about the common pitfalls in relationships and how they can improve their communication style.
One of my clients recently referred to me as her Happiness Facilitator. My goal as a therapist is to teach you the skills you will need to begin living the life you truly want.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone. She is extremely professional and understanding. I’ve never felt so heard and understood. Jennifer really provides real time response and analysis all while being so personable and professional. Hands down the best therapy sessions I have ever had.
I had my first counseling session with Jennifer recently and I think she is great. I had a counselor through here, who wasn't so good and not punctual. In contrast, Jennifer was on time and very thoughtful and professional.
