About Jennifer
Jennifer Kempner is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and other everyday pressures. Her profile also highlights work with LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar concerns, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and questions around life purpose and forgiveness.
Jennifer uses a client-centered style that starts with listening to what brought a person to therapy. She and the client set both short-term and long-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings and clear ways to track progress.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build small habits, and test new ways of relating to stress and difficult feelings. Jennifer also values exploring intimacy-related concerns and the emotional work around parenting.
She aims to help adults manage the everyday load of relationships and responsibilities. Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit a busy life. Work can include skill-building for sleep, tools for anger and anxiety, and support when coping with grief or life changes.
Before the first session she asks people to describe their current concerns so sessions can begin with clear priorities. Over time the focus shifts as progress is made and new issues come up.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them and supports choosing actions that match personal values. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to slow down reactions and increase awareness in day-to-day life. Together these approaches are chosen to address worries about relationships, parenting stress, sleep, anger, and mood changes. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to see which methods feel most useful and to adapt the plan as goals change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical skills, pacing, and applying what is learned to everyday household and relationship demands.
