Clients say this provider is
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Grief Educator. I work primarily with women and mothers who have spent much of their lives being strong for everyone else while carrying trauma, grief, family conflict, or painful relationship experiences. I support clients who may appear to be functioning well on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, guilt, self-doubt, overthinking, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I provide virtual therapy to clients throughout New York.
In our first session, my priority is helping you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what feels most difficult right now, and what you hope will change. You do not have to tell your entire story or discuss painful experiences before you feel ready. Together, we will begin identifying your needs, strengths, and goals and develop a treatment plan that feels realistic and personal to you. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer sense of how we can move forward together.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. I balance empathy and validation with practical guidance, helping you understand how trauma, grief, and past relationships may still be affecting your emotions, boundaries, and sense of self. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach or pressure you to forgive, reconcile, or move faster than feels safe. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing from trauma-informed, strengths-based, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to help you regulate overwhelming emotions, rebuild self-worth, trust yourself, and make meaningful changes.
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and a deeper sense of connection—both within themselves and, if meaningful to them, in their faith. My ideal clients are often navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship difficulties, and may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. I work especially well with clients who are open to self-reflection and motivated to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Many of the individuals I support are looking to build healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, strengthen self-worth, and develop more balanced thinking. I also serve clients who value a holistic approach to healing, including those who wish to integrate mindfulness or faith-based perspectives into their therapeutic journey. Ultimately, my goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, peace, and purpose in their lives.

In my practice, I use principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I support clients in identifying unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns and guide them in reframing these thoughts into more balanced, realistic perspectives. I also incorporate practical coping strategies and skill-building exercises to help clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence in their daily functioning.
In my practice, I incorporate faith-based therapy by integrating spiritual principles, particularly rooted in my Christian faith, to support emotional healing and personal growth. I help clients explore their relationship with God, use prayer and scripture as sources of comfort and guidance, and align therapeutic goals with their spiritual values. This approach allows clients to find deeper meaning in their experiences, strengthen their identity, and draw on their faith as a source of resilience, hope, and restoration.
In my practice, I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients become more present, aware, and grounded in their daily lives. I guide clients in developing awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment, which helps reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. I use techniques such as breathing exercises, body scans, and guided mindfulness practices to support stress reduction, improve focus, and promote a greater sense of calm and balance.
