Jennifer Kempner, LCSW

Jennifer Kempner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping children, adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting struggles, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and matters related to LGBT identity. Her practice also emphasizes forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.

Jennifer primarily uses a client-centered approach, meeting each person where they are and adapting methods to fit individual needs. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies when those approaches will benefit a client. Her aim is for clients to feel respected, understood, and supported as they work toward change.

Initial sessions focus on what brought someone to therapy, and together Jennifer and the client develop short-term and long-term goals to guide treatment. She offers a warm, collaborative environment grounded in the principle of treating others as she would want to be treated. Jennifer’s professional credential is LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and reflects specialized training in clinical social work and psychotherapy.
