About Jennifer
Jennifer Visconti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on common and pressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like parenting and career strain. Jennifer aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure.
She keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations are guided by respect and sensitivity, and she avoids stigmatizing labels.
Background and approach
Jennifer encourages people to notice their own strengths and to build on those strengths to meet life challenges. Her work draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s goals, and mindfulness practices to ground attention in the present.
Motivational interviewing also appears when making changes feels difficult. Jennifer has seven years of professional experience in clinical settings. That background includes work with people facing severe mental health and substance use concerns in correctional environments.
This experience shaped her ability to hold steady conversations about difficult topics. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and honest dialogue. That can look like trying new coping skills, practicing communication strategies, or creating a plan for managing intense emotions.
She offers a compassionate, collaborative approach for people ready to take steps toward change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and experience, letting the conversation follow what matters most to them.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and shifting course when something does not fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or a hands-free option helps. Live chat and text messaging can be convenient for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
