Jennifer Battaglino, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Jennifer

Jennifer Battaglino is a licensed clinical social worker in New York. She draws on 25 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and career crossroads. Her approach is straightforward and respectful.

She aims to tailor sessions to each person's situation and goals. She listens first and adapts tools to what a person needs. That might mean practical steps to reduce anxiety, fresh ways to handle family friction, or strategies to build confidence and motivation.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person. Jennifer blends several therapy styles to fit the problem and the person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for skills and behavior change, Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client’s perspective, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy when those approaches could help. Her work addresses a broad range of issues related to relationships and life transitions. Examples include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, and challenges around divorce or separation.

She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain, panic attacks, social anxiety, and midlife shifts. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Jennifer emphasizes simple, practical steps and steady support so people can move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and aims to create space for honest conversation and self-understanding. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental listener and wants to feel heard before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific tools to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms. It is often used when people want practical steps and measurable progress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and the strengths someone already has, which can speed up movement toward clear changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which method or mix of methods fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That planning is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle family scheduling, and keep continuity when travel or location changes happen. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide regular support, homework ideas, and check-ins that match each person’s pace and goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
