About Jennifer
Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than two decades of counseling experience. She welcomes people who are struggling with sleep problems, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or stress and want practical ways to feel better. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to build a respectful working relationship from the first meeting.
Jennifer uses strengths-based, person-centered work to help people identify what already helps them cope. She pairs that with evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those approaches match a person's goals. Mindfulness and mind-body awareness are woven into sessions to support healthier routines and better rest.
Her practice often starts with establishing rapport and spotting patterns that keep problems going. She helps clients set small, doable goals and practices skills between visits. Sessions tend to focus on what is practical and relevant to daily life, such as managing sleep, reducing overwhelm, or improving communication.
Jennifer has experience supporting people through trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, career changes, and challenges related to adoption or caregiving. Over 23 years she has worked with people facing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue among other issues. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people choose what to try and adjusts as needs change.
Clients who prefer a calm, steady guide will find a straightforward style in her work. She encourages realistic steps, regular practice, and checking progress together. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person's priorities set the agenda. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits that interfere with daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when strong mood swings or relationship conflicts get in the way of functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time. That shared process helps people try new strategies without feeling locked into one path.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when that helps maintain progress. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and person-centered techniques to work in remote sessions while focusing on real-life changes like improving sleep, managing stress, and building better routines.
