Jennifer Visconti, LMHC

Jennifer Visconti is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and challenges like addiction, grief, trauma, and ADHD. Her approach is open and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel attainable.

She uses a mix of talking and practical work in sessions. Jennifer draws from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. That means conversations focus on thoughts and everyday habits, building small skills, and noticing what matters most to each person.

Her background includes work with people living with serious mental health conditions in correctional settings. Over seven years she has supported clients facing anger, substance use, and mood difficulties. This experience informs a direct, calm manner in sessions and a focus on steady, realistic progress.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Jennifer emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and partners with them to use existing strengths toward clearer goals.

If someone is ready to try therapy, she offers an initial path forward and gentle coaching through change. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when worries or stuck thinking get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and habits and teaches concrete skill work to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows consistent work on thoughts and everyday habits from wherever a person can join, while the therapist helps adapt exercises to each person’s daily life.
