About Jennifer
Jennifer DiGiovanni is a New York LCSW-R with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She also helps people facing life changes, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small changes that make day-to-day life easier, such as spotting triggers, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce reactivity.
Jennifer pays attention to how health, caregiving, and aging affect emotional life. She supports people managing chronic pain, illness, or the stress of caregiving. She also assists those dealing with guilt, shame, infidelity, and intimacy-related worries.
In sessions she breaks issues into workable steps. Conversations often include practical exercises to practice between meetings. She helps people build skills for managing anger, improving communication, and handling workplace frustration.
People meet her to address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns. She draws on her years of experience to offer clear options and next steps. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How ACT and CBT are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It focuses on values-based action so someone can live a life that matters even when strong emotions appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to practice different responses to triggers like anger or anxiety. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has and hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a mix will best address the person’s current concerns. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid commuting time. They also let people try exercises in the settings where problems happen, which can speed up learning and change.Areas of expertise
