About Jennifer
Jennifer Kempner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She works with individuals who want practical ways to feel calmer and more in control. Sessions are offered in English from her base in New York.
Jennifer begins by asking what brought someone to therapy and what matters most to them. She and the client set short-term steps and longer-term goals together.
Background and approach
Her aim is to create a respectful space where people feel heard and able to try new strategies. Her approach is client-centered, which means she listens closely and responds to each person’s needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are used to build awareness and handle difficult emotions. Jennifer helps people manage anger in ways that reduce conflict and improve daily life. She also supports those working through parenting stress, career changes, sleep problems, and questions about identity and self-worth.
Forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love are additional areas she often addresses. Sessions can take different shapes depending on what someone prefers and needs. Jennifer uses a flexible mix of short-term problem solving and ongoing work toward deeper change.
She encourages practical steps that fit into real life.

How Jennifer’s Approaches Work Online
Jennifer blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be done through guided exercises and homework between sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, using practical tools and short experiments to build healthier routines.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online work can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, chat sessions are good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or exercises between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
