About Jennifer

LCSW in New Mexico and Texas with 25 years' experience. Jennifer Kempner helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She also focuses on forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.

Jennifer uses approaches she names in her practice, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions begin by talking about what brought the person to therapy. Then she and the client create short-term and longer-term goals to guide work between appointments.

Her style centers on listening first and adapting methods to what the person needs. That may mean learning specific skills, practicing new ways of thinking, or trying brief, goal-focused steps and mindfulness exercises. She describes the work as collaborative and practical rather than theoretical.

Jennifer has practiced in a range of settings over the course of her career. Her training and long experience inform how she blends client-centered conversations with more structured techniques when those approaches fit the goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and she is based in New York. International clients are not accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching people how to accept difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can set their own pace and goals; this supports work on self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that match those needs. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as sessions progress so the person stays involved in choosing what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
