About Jennifer
Jennifer DiGiovanni is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with clients facing grief, trauma, addictions, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Jennifer draws on 19 years of experience in New York to guide conversations toward real change. She uses clear techniques that people can try right away to reduce distress and increase coping.
How Jennifer works
Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, so time in therapy feels useful and focused. Her work addresses problems such as social anxiety, mood disorders, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional fallout of infidelity or loss.
Jennifer pays attention to how daily life and health challenges shape feelings and behavior. Therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and reconnect with valued parts of life.
Jennifer tailors techniques to each person’s pace and goals. In sessions she helps people build skills for emotion regulation, cope with shame or guilt, and address control issues. Therapy also covers practical problems like managing anger, eating concerns, and addictions.
The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Online support options
How ACT and CBT translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with what matters, which is useful for grief, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. That method is practical for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood-related concerns because it teaches clear skills to change daily habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth needs or a quieter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short updates and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently.
