Jennifer Moragas, LMHC

Jennifer Moragas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, warm style to sessions. She aims to help people who are managing anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, attention challenges, and relationship or parenting concerns.

Jennifer uses practical methods that focus on changing thoughts and habits that make life harder. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down unhelpful thinking and builds new coping skills. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people strengthen their own reasons for change and find momentum.

Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health from Walden University and an undergraduate degree in elementary education and psychology from Kean University. Over more than a decade she has worked with many people facing trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and self-esteem struggles, and she continues to update her knowledge through seminars.

In sessions she keeps a relaxed, open tone and brings warmth and a sense of humor. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps, small habit shifts, and clear goals that fit into daily life. She explains tools plainly and collaborates on ways to try them between meetings.

Outside of work she lives in upstate New York with her husband and three children and spends time outdoors, cooking, baking, and doing CrossFit. Her own experience managing anxiety and depression informs how she talks about hope and change with people.

How her approaches translate to online care

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with practical exercises and short homework tasks that fit into daily life. Motivational Interviewing centers on helping people find and strengthen their own reasons for change through guided conversation and goal-setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it feels useful and realistic.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
