About Jennifer
Jennifer Battaglino is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, or career doubt. She focuses on building confidence and practical ways to feel more in control.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Jennifer listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space and uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Jennifer works
She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat over time. When appropriate she may use solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals. Hypnotherapy is another option she offers for issues like anxiety, stress, and habit change.
Jennifer helps people sort through family and parenting stress, communication problems, and challenges tied to divorce or separation. She supports those struggling with guilt, shame, or feeling stuck during midlife and career transitions. Chronic illness, caregiver strain, abandonment or attachment wounds are also within her focus.
Every plan is tailored to the individual’s situation and values. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up. She encourages people to take the first step toward a more steady and satisfying life.

How Jennifer’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s concerns and building a respectful working relationship, which helps clients feel heard and seen during any online session. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear, goal-driven exercises and thought tools that translate well to video calls and messaging, making it easier to practice skills between sessions. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and personal history to uncover sources of current stress, and this reflective work can unfold over time through regular online meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative testing helps people find a mix of techniques that fits their needs and preferences.
Online formats bring practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or audio-only interaction is preferred, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a break, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
