Jennifer Moragas, LMHC

Jennifer Moragas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 11 years of experience to sessions and uses practical methods to help people manage mood, stress, and everyday challenges.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change behaviors, including struggles with addictions. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings.

Jennifer describes her style as warm and laid back. She aims to create a relaxed space where people can talk honestly and work toward real changes. Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health earned in 2012 and earlier studies in elementary education and psychology.

Over the years she has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship stress, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, and addiction. In sessions she combines structured tools with empathetic listening so you leave with both understanding and practical next steps.

Outside of work she lives in upstate New York with her husband and three children and enjoys outdoor activities, cooking, baking, and CrossFit. Her own experience with anxiety and depression informs a down-to-earth approach to therapy and a focus on workable strategies for daily life.

CBT and Motivational Interviewing in Online Sessions

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT sessions online focus on specific skills, short experiments to try between sessions, and step-by-step plans for coping with anxiety, depression, or stress.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change habits such as substance use. This approach centers on listening, exploring ambivalence, and building internal motivation for small sustainable steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Together they set clear goals and practical tasks to try between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
