About Jennifer
Jennifer Schultz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and depression. She meets each person where they are and treats them as the expert on their own life. Her focus is on practical steps and steady support to make change feel possible.
Jennifer uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to a person.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and helps people try small, workable changes. Sessions are focused and goal-oriented, but allow room for emotion and reflection. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused tools.
She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. These approaches are chosen to match the issue at hand and the person’s preferences. People who come to Jennifer often need help with communication, intense worry, obsessive thoughts, substance concerns, or the aftermath of trauma.
She also helps those coping with guilt, shame, or the long seasons of grief and loss. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are regular parts of the work. Sessions aim to build small wins that add up over time.
Jennifer supports people in making sense of difficult moments and in finding a path forward that feels manageable. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people feel heard so they can discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and obsessive thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions that get in the way of relationships and self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made or goals change.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect depending on needs and day-to-day life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching format to the moment.
