About Jennifer
Jennifer Kempner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like ADHD and sleep problems. She also supports people facing career questions, life changes, and those exploring self-love, forgiveness, and life purpose.
Jennifer uses a kind, straightforward style in sessions. She starts by asking what brought someone to therapy and listens closely to what matters most.
Background and approach
Together she and the person set short-term and longer-term goals to guide their work. Her approach is mainly client-centered, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities while tailoring techniques to suit the situation. She mixes tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with worrying thoughts, mood, and daily routines.
Solution-focused strategies are used when someone wants clear steps and quick practices to try between sessions. In session she aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through hard topics like trauma, anger, or relationship strain. She explains ideas in plain language and models practical ways to test new habits.
The work often includes short exercises to practice outside the session so progress continues between meetings. Jennifer is based in New York and holds the credential LCSW, licensed in New Mexico and Texas. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through multiple formats to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer often draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, worry, and life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This means sessions may include gentle acceptance practices, thought-challenging exercises, or short solution-focused tasks depending on the concern.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a written back-and-forth for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing exercises between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while working with a licensed professional.
