About Jennifer

Jennifer Kreider is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people move forward. She draws on several evidence-based approaches and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Her work often centers on addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful or confusing experiences. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that make a real difference day to day.

Background and approach

Jennifer emphasizes clear, usable tools rather than jargon-filled explanations. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action. Attachment perspectives are used when relationships and connection shape problems like shame, jealousy, or loneliness.

Motivational Interviewing helps when people want to change patterns linked to process or substance addictions. Jennifer also supports people coping with mood disorders, impulse concerns, and issues tied to identity or discrimination. She works with clients facing self-harm urges, seasonal mood shifts, and the emotional fallout from trauma.

Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building sustainable coping skills. With five years of clinical experience, she pairs practical techniques with a steady, empathetic presence. Therapy is collaborative - clients set the pace and goals.

Services are provided in English from a New York practice and focus on real-world change.

How Jennifer's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for depression, anxiety, and getting unstuck from addictive patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practice between sessions, which can improve mood and reduce impulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and tries methods collaboratively, adjusting the plan when something isn't working. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep, adapt, or set aside as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in quickly, share short updates, or handle brief emotional moments between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
