About Jennifer

Jennifer Giannino is a licensed professional counselor - clinical (LPCC) based in New Mexico. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes practical support and clear steps rather than medical jargon.

Seeking help can feel hard and she aims to make the first step easier for a worried parent.

Background and approach

Jennifer treats each person as an expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques. She listens for what matters most and helps set realistic goals that fit family life and daily routines.

With 17 years of professional experience, she draws on a wide range of clinical work to address common parenting and family challenges. Her approach is gentle but direct, focusing on skills that can be used between sessions. Progress is tracked in small, manageable steps so families notice real change.

Jennifer offers several session formats to fit busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She encourages people to bring specific problems or questions to a first session so they can begin practical work right away. Her aim is to support and empower parents and families as they navigate difficult transitions.

Jennifer helps clarify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and build confidence in parenting and family relationships.

Approaches that fit family life and online care

Jennifer draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and practical changes. One common approach focuses on skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, planning, and small behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. This kind of work helps when day-to-day parenting tasks feel too much.

A second approach emphasizes strengthening relationships and communication within families. It teaches ways to express needs, set boundaries, and solve conflict so family members can work through problems together. That approach is useful for parenting disagreements and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Jennifer works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and family situation. She treats therapy as a collaboration - listening first, then testing what helps most, and adjusting as needed.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to connect from home, during a lunch break, or between school runs. The flexibility supports ongoing progress by allowing follow-ups and quick check-ins in ways that match family routines.
