About Jennifer
Jennifer Schultz is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience based in New York. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people cope with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to build on strengths.
Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She listens first, then suggests practical steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, focused conversations about what’s getting in the way, and simple tools to manage strong feelings. Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean looking at thought patterns and behavior, paying attention to emotions in the moment, or practicing mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.
She also draws on motivational interviewing when people are weighing change and need help finding their own reasons to move forward. She has worked with individuals facing issues such as abandonment fears, communication problems, control struggles, substance concerns, obsessive thoughts, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and workplace stress.
Jennifer aims to make therapy practical and manageable for people juggling busy lives. People who prefer a collaborative, respectful approach tend to find her helpful. She supports clients as they set clear goals, try small experiments, and track what changes.
The focus is on steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and intrusive thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and focuses on hearing each person’s story, validating their experience, and building on their strengths to move toward goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean starting with short experiments from CBT, adding emotionally-focused work to address relationship patterns, or practicing mindfulness skills when anxiety feels overwhelming.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and for practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help people stay connected between sessions or check in when a longer session isn’t possible. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
