About Jennifer

Jennifer Visconti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on eating and food-related issues alongside a wide range of concerns. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and major life changes. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she aims to meet people without labels or judgment.

Jennifer works in an interactive, collaborative way. She listens to each person's story and highlights their strengths. Sessions are aimed at clear, doable steps rather than vague promises. She encourages small changes that add up over time.

Her approach blends several methods to match what an individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based choices even when feelings are difficult.

Jennifer has seven years of clinical experience and has worked in settings that included support for people with severe mental health and substance-use concerns. She values sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels while helping clients build practical skills for daily life.

She typically checks messages several times a day from Sunday through Thursday and aims to reply promptly. To begin, people are invited to complete the platform matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their values and take actions that matter even when feelings are painful. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-control or uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and can help with worry, low mood, and eating-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

For practical online planning, confirm available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try approaches like ACT and CBT with tools and exercises that translate to day-to-day life.
