I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who are balancing demanding responsibilities whether in caregiving roles, professional environments, or complex family systems and feel overwhelmed trying to manage everything on their own. I also work with professionals in healthcare, education, and other helping roles who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or role-related stress.

My clinical background includes leadership roles in hospital-based behavioral health programs, including intensive community treatment and outpatient mental health services. I bring that depth of experience into my private practice by offering structured, practical support that helps clients regain stability, clarity, and confidence during difficult periods.

Jennifer Rodriguez

Jennifer Rodriguez

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello and welcome! I'm glad you're here!

My name is Jennifer. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from Columbia University School of Social Work, and I’ve been supporting clients since 2015. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with youth, families, and caregivers in the New York City school system, helping them navigate a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Working in schools has really shaped how I approach therapy. It’s taught me how to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and support clients across different systems. It’s also given me the time and space to truly get to know each person and adjust treatment along the way, so we can find what actually works best for you and not just what looks good on paper.

On a personal note, I’m the oldest of three and a parent, so I understand how heavy expectations can feel whether they come from family, society, relationships, or from within. I bring that understanding into my work, meeting you with empathy, honesty, and a genuine respect for what you’re carrying.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve been living with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other psychiatric conditions that affect your daily life and relationships. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I am an LCSW, with experience working in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, where I have supported individuals during some of the most vulnerable and complex moments of their lives. This background has given me a deep understanding of mental health conditions, crisis stabilization, emotional regulation, and the impact that untreated trauma can have on a person’s life.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
