About Jennifer

Jennifer Visconti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, addictions, and life transitions. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat each person with respect and compassion.

Jennifer draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, client-centered methods to keep sessions collaborative, and mindfulness strategies to bring steady attention to the present moment. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people are weighing changes or making difficult choices.

She has seven years of professional experience working with people facing severe mental health challenges, including substance use and anger concerns in correctional settings. That background shapes how she stays calm and practical with sensitive issues. Jennifer emphasizes strengths and practical steps over labels.

Sessions focus on clear goals and real skills. People can expect to talk through patterns, practice new responses, and set small, doable steps between visits. She aims to help clients build momentum and use their own strengths to improve daily life.

Jennifer also notes she generally checks messages several times per day Sunday through Thursday and will respond as quickly as she can. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them in taking the first step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way and practicing concrete skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapy relationship where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects, supports, and helps them find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, try out methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where preferences and practical needs guide the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Confirm the available session formats before booking to make sure they meet your needs, since formats are set by the therapist. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in remote sessions and focus on skills you can use between appointments.
