Jennifer LoPiano

You may be the person everyone relies on—the professional, healthcare worker, leader, parent, caregiver, or problem-solver who appears capable and put-together while privately feeling anxious, burned out, self-critical, or stretched too thin. I help adults navigate demanding careers, relationships, family responsibilities, and major life changes while making more space for their own needs.

I especially enjoy working with high-functioning adults who are accustomed to managing everything but may be struggling to sustain that pace. You may be experiencing anxiety, burnout, difficulty setting boundaries, or uncertainty about how to make a change without letting others down.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of behavioral health experience across inpatient and outpatient mental health, private practice, and telehealth. My style is warm, direct, and practical. I’ll help you better understand what is keeping you stuck and begin moving toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and individualized. I don’t believe therapy should feel one-size-fits-all, so we’ll develop an approach that reflects your goals, values, needs, and current stage of life.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Activation. Depending on your needs, our work may involve identifying unhelpful patterns, understanding what contributes to feeling stuck, strengthening coping skills, and developing practical strategies you can use outside of sessions.

My style is direct yet compassionate, balancing reflection and emotional support with action. Sessions provide space to process what you’re experiencing while also helping you take concrete, manageable steps toward change.

My goal is for you to feel understood and supported while developing greater confidence in your ability to navigate challenges, make intentional decisions, and create a healthier, more sustainable balance in your life.

Our first session will be a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free conversation focused on understanding what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll discuss what feels most challenging right now, how it is affecting your life, what you’ve already tried, and where you would like things to feel different.

Starting therapy can feel like one more thing to fit into an already busy life. This session gives you an opportunity to slow down and focus on your experiences, needs, and priorities. I’ll ask thoughtful questions while giving you space to share at a pace that feels comfortable—you won’t be expected to tell your entire story at once.

Together, we’ll begin identifying patterns, strengths, and practical next steps based on what matters most to you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and understood, with a clearer sense of our direction and whether my approach feels like the right fit for you.
