Virtual Therapy for Young Adults & College Students Across Pennsylvania
Hello and welcome! My name is Jayden Gibison. I earned my Master of Science in Education from the University of Pennsylvania’s School and Mental Health Counseling program, and I practice as a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania.
I specialize exclusively in virtual therapy for college students, recent graduates, and young adults living anywhere in Pennsylvania. Whether you are studying at a university in PA or stepping into the early workforce, my focus is helping you navigate the unique pressures, transitions, and identity shifts of young adulthood.
Therapy That Feels Like a Team
My primary goal in therapy is simple: I want us to operate as a team. Entering therapy can feel intimidating, but working together shouldn't feel stiff or transactional. My core strengths include:
Community-Building & Relatability
Honesty & Direct Perspective
Deep Empathy & Active Listening
Humor & Warmth
We will lean heavily on these strengths during our telehealth sessions to build an authentic connection where real growth can happen comfortably from your own space.
Navigating Quarter-Life Shifts & Transitions in PA
Young adulthood brings many "firsts" that life doesn't fully prepare you for. I help PA young adults navigate:
Starting or graduating from college / graduate school
Entering the workforce and managing early career stress
Relationship shifts, boundary setting, and independence
Identity development, self-worth, and defining your values
Managing young adult anxiety, perfectionism, and life overwhelm
My Therapeutic Approach
I integrate three client-centered modalities:
Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring past experiences to understand how they shape your current patterns, relationships, and self-talk.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions while taking concrete, value-driven steps toward your ideal future.
Existential Therapy: Helping you navigate life's big questions around identity, meaning, and personal purpose.
No matter which approaches we draw from, you can expect my total commitment to keeping your best interests at heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located, and who do you work with?
I provide 100% virtual (online) therapy across Pennsylvania. I specialize in working with college students, graduate students, recent graduates, and young adults living anywhere in PA. Whether you are living in a college dorm, working at your first job in the city, or living at home, you can conveniently attend sessions online from any quiet, private space in Pennsylvania.
What does it mean that you are an LAPC under clinical supervision?
As a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) in Pennsylvania, I have completed my Master of Science in Education in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania and met all state requirements to practice therapy. Practicing under the clinical supervision of Corinne Kneis, LCPC, LPC means my work is regularly backed by expert consultation, giving my clients an added layer of clinical oversight and high standards of care.
What can I expect from our first session together?
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you do not need to have everything figured out before we meet. Our first session is a relaxed, zero-judgment conversation focused on getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and identifying what you want your future to look like. We will work as a team at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
How do your therapy approaches (Psychodynamic, ACT, & Existentialist) work in practice?
In simple terms:
Psychodynamic helps us look at your past to understand why you think, feel, and relate the way you do today.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) gives you practical tools to handle uncomfortable thoughts and emotions while taking active steps toward your goals.
Existentialism gives us space to explore big questions around identity, values, life purpose, and navigating major transitions.
