About Jennifer
Jennifer Kreider is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people dealing with anger, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and mood struggles. Jennifer aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental so clients can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.
She leans on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build clearer, value-driven choices.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as managing impulses, coping with shame, and reducing reactive behavior. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered talking help people understand patterns that developed in relationships and how those patterns show up now. Jennifer blends practical skill work with space to process painful experiences, including trauma and losses that affect day-to-day life.
Her background includes five years of professional practice in New York, working with concerns such as process and sex addictions, self-harm, and mood disorders. She also addresses issues like isolation, jealousy, and life-purpose questions when they come up in sessions. Jennifer encourages small, steady steps and works collaboratively to tailor plans to each person’s situation.
She supports people who want clearer thinking, fewer impulsive reactions, and a stronger sense of direction in life.

Online approaches that focus on behavior and values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. ACT can be useful for anger, addictions, and a sense of aimlessness by shifting focus to small, meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches concrete strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce reactive anger, depressive thinking, and impulsive decisions.
Attachment-Based ideas are used to look at patterns that come from past relationships and how they affect current behavior. This approach supports people who want to better understand why they react strongly in certain situations and to develop healthier ways of relating to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and day-to-day needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth work and skill practice, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue steady progress over time.
