About Jennifer

Jennifer Visconti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, substance use concerns, trauma, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps to manage everyday strains at home and work.

She draws on a mix of approaches to guide conversations and problem solving. Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how she listens and helps people find motivation for change.

Jennifer’s background includes work in settings that supported people with severe mental health needs, where she addressed depression, anxiety, substance use, and anger management. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals with clients.

In sessions she focuses on clear skills and steps. That can look like practicing new ways to handle conflict, trying small behavioral experiments, or using mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity. She will work with each person to figure out which tools fit their life and responsibilities.

People who come for help can expect direct conversation, practical suggestions, and follow-up between meetings about progress. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online options provided.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It helps when people feel stuck by offering practical steps to move toward meaningful activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches ways to change them. It works well for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made if something is not helpful.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work commitments, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use online visits to assign between-session exercises and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
