About Jennifer
Jennifer Kempner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico and Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. She also focuses on forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Initial sessions review what brought someone to therapy. Together they set short-term and longer-term goals that are realistic and specific. Sessions aim to address practical problems and everyday patterns that make life harder.
Jennifer uses well-known therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. She adjusts those tools to what a person needs rather than following a single script. Conversations often include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and reflection on values and priorities.
Her background spans community and clinical settings over a long career. That experience shapes a practical focus - balancing emotional work with steps people can use between sessions. She asks about daily routines, relationships, work, and stressors to find useful, concrete next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with long-term stress, life transitions, and issues that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals and make decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will try approaches collaboratively. That means checking what helps, adjusting strategies, and agreeing on short-term steps to test between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins from a place with fewer distractions. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skill practice or homework that fits into daily life, which can be especially practical for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
