About Jennifer
Jennifer Scaltrito is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 20 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them handle stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship concerns, and career strain. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at helping clients make practical changes that fit daily life.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. Jennifer blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused work narrows in on what’s already working and how to build it.
Over two decades in mental health have included many settings and a wide mix of people. That range informs a flexible way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She pays attention to each person’s pace and priorities when planning next steps.
Jennifer also addresses specific challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care history, aging concerns, chronic illness and pain, and issues linked to personality styles. She lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas and can help people process stress tied to those events.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks reflective questions, and helps people name what matters most to them. This approach supports feelings being heard and explored.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks problems into small, concrete steps and uses experiments and skills practice to try new ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring ambivalence in a respectful way. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes related to addiction, health, or life goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches or trying different techniques until something feels practical and helpful.
