About Jenny

Jenny Desantis is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping people through big life changes. She works with adults facing addiction recovery, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and the stress of transitions. Jenny offers steady, practical support and listens for what matters most to each person.

She focuses on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that address both immediate coping needs and longer-term healing. Sessions tend to center on clear goals, skill-building, and safety planning when trauma is involved.

Background and approach

Jenny helps people identify small, realistic steps they can take between meetings to feel more in control. Her style is calm and direct. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories, set boundaries, and practice healthier ways of relating.

That practical tone helps when someone is juggling recovery or family stress alongside daily life. Jenny draws on trauma-informed practices to reduce reactivity and build resilience. She supports people as they reconnect with strengths and develop new routines that support recovery and well-being.

Progress is often measured in changes people can notice in their relationships and daily coping. Based in New Jersey, Jenny provides care in English and uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. She offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Jenny uses trauma-informed practices that focus on understanding how past harm affects present reactions. These practices help people reduce overwhelming responses, build safety, and slowly reclaim strengths used before trauma.

She also emphasizes skill-based therapeutic work that teaches concrete tools for coping and relapse prevention. Those tools can include strategies for managing cravings, navigating difficult conversations, and handling strong emotions in the moment.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jenny will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone calls can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support shorter touchpoints between sessions and ongoing encouragement. These options help people fit therapy into work, recovery meetings, or family routines.
