Jennifer Kempner, LCSW

Jennifer Kempner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adults, and couples across a range of clinical settings. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, sleep problems, and questions around self-esteem and life purpose. Her practice also includes support for LGBT clients and focuses on areas like forgiveness, self-love, and discovering meaning in life.

Jennifer primarily uses a client-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and adapting evidence-based techniques to fit individual needs. Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and solution-focused strategies. She blends these methods to create practical, goal-oriented plans that reflect both short-term relief and longer-term growth.

Assessment and collaboration are central to her process. Initial sessions explore what brought a person to therapy and together they identify short-term and long-term goals to guide the work. Throughout treatment she aims to ensure clients feel respected, understood, and supported while pursuing change. Jennifer practices in New York and accepts new clients who are seeking a thoughtful, experienced therapist to navigate life's challenges.
