About Jennifer
Jennifer DiGiovanni is a New York licensed clinical social worker who brings 19 years of experience to helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on evidence-based methods to support clients facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, mood disorders, intimacy-related issues, addiction, eating and anger problems, and complex caregiving or chronic illness challenges. Her work emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based process that balances practical skills with emotional processing.
Clients can expect an approach that is both warm and direct, aimed at building resilience and developing personalized strategies for coping and growth. Jennifer pays attention to the ways relationships, health, and life transitions influence emotional well-being and tailors her work to each person’s circumstances.
Licensed as an LCSW-R in New York, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into treatment plans when appropriate, helping people clarify values, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and take meaningful action toward valued goals. Her focus is on guiding clients through sustainable change with empathy and professional guidance.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and social fears. It emphasizes practical, structured skills such as cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments that can be applied between sessions to produce measurable change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. This approach can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, persistent worry, and challenges that involve avoidance or control issues.
Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess goals, preferences, and life context and then adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, or related methods to fit what will be most helpful for that person.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These formats allow ongoing access to a licensed professional and make it possible to practice strategies in real-life contexts while maintaining continuity of care.
