About Jennisel
Jennisel Marte is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and struggles with addiction. She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Jennisel aims to build a calm, judgment-free space where people can talk through hard feelings. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps instead of medical jargon.
Background and approach
Her approach is patient and steady, and she meets people where they are. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems active, such as avoidance, unhelpful thinking, or relationship strains. She helps clients try small changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.
Work can include learning coping skills, planning safer responses to triggers, and practicing new ways to communicate. Jennisel also supports people facing questions about identity, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and immigration-related stress. She helps clients sort through family of origin issues, commitment and communication problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity.
People who prefer a collaborative, practical style find her helpful. Sessions aim to be goal-focused while still allowing space for careful reflection. She offers options that fit different schedules and communication styles.
Approaches that reduce anxiety and support recovery
Jennisel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional processing. One approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching tools to manage worry, calm the body, and break cycles of avoidance so daily routines feel more manageable. Another approach focuses on recovery from addiction and problem behaviors by identifying triggers, developing safer responses, and creating step-by-step plans to reduce harm and increase control.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, values, and pace. Clients and therapist discuss options and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins or a way to process between full sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
