About Jennifer
Jennifer DiGiovanni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Rehabilitative (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders including bipolar conditions.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people test new responses to difficult feelings.
In sessions she talks through current problems and practical ways to respond. That can include noticing thought patterns, changing routine behaviors, and practicing small steps toward valued goals. She pays attention to how chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging, and long-term pain affect mood and daily functioning.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice in New York working with adults facing complex emotional and life challenges. She explains approaches in plain language and helps people set short-term, observable goals. Many clients work on symptom management, improving relationships, and coping with change.
Jennifer often combines CBT techniques with ACT strategies to address both thinking habits and values-driven action. People who want structured, practical therapy with clear exercises and homework tend to find this style straightforward and useful.
How CBT and ACT are used in online sessions
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to test what changes help reduce distress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that matter. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to small, values-based steps. That approach can help when avoidance or stuck patterns keep people from activities they value.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and discuss whether CBT, ACT, or a mix fits best. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what feels useful and what produces small, observable changes.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and others may be better for longer, focused sessions. Discuss practical needs with the therapist when you schedule to pick the best session structure.
