About Jennifer

Jennifer Scaltrito is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship strain, and career challenges. With two decades of clinical experience, she offers steady, practical support for those seeking change and greater emotional balance.

Background and approach

Her work centers on helping clients identify workable steps forward and build skills that fit everyday life. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor support to each person’s situation.

Jennifer has also developed experience addressing a wide range of concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, neurodevelopmental and personality-related challenges, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and coping after disasters. Jennifer communicates in English and practices within New Jersey, bringing a pragmatic, empathetic style to the therapeutic process.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches with Remote Care

Jennifer frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients examine patterns of thought and behavior and practice new responses to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address addictive behaviors. She also employs client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals and values guide the work and emotional processing can unfold at a steady pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusts strategies based on progress and preferences, and combines techniques when that best meets the client's needs and goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to continue care from home. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and timely support while preserving the same therapeutic focus Jennifer brings to in-person work.
