Jennifer Kempner , LCSW

Jennifer Kempner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adults, and couples across a range of clinical settings. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, sleep problems, and questions around self-esteem and life purpose. Her practice also includes support for LGBT clients and focuses on areas like forgiveness, self-love, and discovering meaning in life.

Jennifer primarily uses a client-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and adapting evidence-based techniques to fit individual needs. Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and solution-focused strategies. She blends these methods to create practical, goal-oriented plans that reflect both short-term relief and longer-term growth.

Assessment and collaboration are central to her process. Initial sessions explore what brought a person to therapy and together they identify short-term and long-term goals to guide the work. Throughout treatment she aims to ensure clients feel respected, understood, and supported while pursuing change. Jennifer practices in New York and accepts new clients who are seeking a thoughtful, experienced therapist to navigate life's challenges.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity during life changes.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options and adapt their therapeutic approaches to each person’s needs. If a different therapeutic fit is desired, clients can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can expand access to consistent support while allowing people to pursue meaningful change from wherever they are.
