About Jennifer

Jennifer Schultz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, drawing on practical therapeutic methods to support change.

Background and approach

Jennifer emphasizes the client’s knowledge of their own life and helps clients build on existing strengths to face difficult situations. Her style combines evidence-informed techniques with a warm, collaborative stance.

She uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused strategies to address patterns of thinking, deepen emotional understanding, and strengthen interpersonal connections. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in her toolkit to help clients increase awareness and move toward meaningful goals.

Jennifer aims to make beginning therapy as straightforward as possible, offering a supportive environment where clients can explore concerns like obsessive thoughts, substance-related struggles, workplace stress, seasonal mood shifts, and issues around communication, control, guilt, or shame. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients as part of her practice.

How Jennifer’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and repetitive thoughts. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own expertise to foster growth and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she may use to explore emotional responses and strengthen relational skills when interpersonal patterns are a concern.

Determining which approach will be most helpful is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, and together they refine a plan that blends methods as needed rather than relying on a single technique.

Online formats for her practice include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session rhythms, and access consistent therapeutic support across locations and time zones.
