About Jennifer
Jennifer Battaglino is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She focuses on building practical skills and steady support so parents can feel more confident and less overwhelmed. Jennifer speaks plainly and listens closely to each person’s story.
She uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each situation. That can mean working toward clearer thinking and behavior change, talking through long-standing patterns, or focusing on short-term solutions for immediate problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to a client’s goals and pace rather than one-size-fits-all programs. Jennifer often helps people improve communication and manage caregiver strain, divorce-related stress, or life transitions. She also supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, and social anxiety.
Career concerns, impulse control, and questions about life purpose are addressed in practical ways. The work usually includes setting small, manageable goals and practicing new skills between meetings. She blends supportive listening with strategies that clients can use at home.
Progress is tracked in ways that reflect real life, not just therapy sessions. People who choose her describe a respectful, compassionate approach. She treats parents and adults with sensitivity and aims to empower them to make changes that fit their daily lives.
Jennifer offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what the person brings to each session. In practice that means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you clarify goals; this can be especially helpful for parenting stress or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through concrete exercises. It often includes short homework tasks and skills practice that work well between video or phone meetings to reinforce change.
The right approach is something to discover together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize problem-solving techniques, deeper pattern work, or a mix of approaches.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and working adults. Video calls let you use visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and practice skills between meetings.
