Jennifer DiGiovanni, LCSW-R

Jennifer DiGiovanni, LCSW-R, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She works with individuals who are coping with relationship struggles, mood disorders, trauma, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her practice also includes focus on aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress.

Jennifer uses straightforward conversation to clarify the problems people bring in. She asks practical questions, listens closely, and helps clients map small steps toward change. Sessions aim to turn confusing emotions into manageable tasks and clearer choices.

With 19 years of clinical experience in New York, she draws on methods that have been shown to help people shift unhelpful thinking and act in line with their values. Those methods are applied in ways that fit each person’s life and goals.

She often supports people managing chronic illness, chronic pain, or disability alongside emotional challenges. That work includes helping caregivers handle ongoing stress and building routines that reduce daily strain.

Jennifer describes her style as warm and direct. She focuses on practical strategies and on noticing what matters to each person. People who want clear steps and compassionate guidance may find this approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, mood disorders, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jennifer will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care during health or mobility challenges and make it simpler for caregivers to add support into their routine. Licensed professionals can discuss how to shape sessions so they work with daily commitments and practical constraints.
