About Jennifer

Jennifer Masessa is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concentration and memory concerns, and issues connected to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

Her background also includes executive and professional coaching aimed at strengthening focus and workplace effectiveness. Her style centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly.

Jennifer aims to support clients through practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting, while also attending to emotional themes such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety. She frames change as a courageous step and positions herself as a supportive guide during that process.

Jennifer emphasizes empowerment and partnership in therapy, helping clients identify priorities and build skills that fit their daily lives. Prospective clients who value a strengths-based, empathetic approach and want to address focus, mood, or identity-related concerns may find her approach useful.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Jennifer draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses involves skill-building for attention and organization to support those experiencing ADHD-related concentration and memory challenges; this often includes structured strategies to manage daily tasks and improve focus. Another element of her work emphasizes cognitive and emotional exploration to address anxiety, depression, and themes like guilt, shame, and isolation by helping clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and practice self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time so the therapy matches evolving priorities and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats allow people to access therapeutic support from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can tailor these options to individual routines and communication styles, making it easier to stay engaged with the work.
