Jennifer instantly made me feel comfortable. Our sessions are something I strongly look forward to. It’s a safe space where I talk about anything without fear of judgement. She’s a friendly face that always knows exactly how to phrase what she says, and what questions to ask. My perception has shifted a lot in the best way and she helps me get through my hurdles

Although I am fairly new to therapy and we have met a couple of times, Jennifer created a safe space for me to express myself instantly. I felt at ease and in no way did I receive an impression where I could potentially be judged or viewed differently. She has made me optimistic towards my journey and has granted me the ability to be patient with myself in the process. I am very grateful to have met her.
More about Jennifer

Hi, my name is Jennifer Pignataro. I am a licensed therapist in New York with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in working with narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused and psychodynamic therapies. I also have special training in using dreams to gain clarity on issues experienced in waking life. Nothing is too weird for me, no issue is stupid, and no one is a "lost cause." I believe we are all unique individuals and that uniqueness makes us valuable. It's also true that its easy to lose ourselves in the challenges that life throws at us. When we work together, it will be your agenda that is our focus. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Together we will develop a plan that will best suit your needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that growth. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jennifer is a knowledgeable, sensitive and open therapist. She is easy to talk to and is not judgmental or condescending. I admire her for her work and am grateful to have connected with her for my journey with BetterHelp.
Jennifer is great at what she does and has a way of connected with patients that I thoroughly enjoyed. I learned a lot from her and was able to move on from some of the issues I was facing. She gives constructive feedback and homework to build on the skills we worked on. You certainly won’t be disappointed if you get a chance to work with her!
Reminds me of my first baby sitter very mother like and really cares to see you shine
I selected strongly disagree on one that was a mistake
