Jennifer (Jenni) Viviano, LCSW

Therapist

As a clinician at Children and Family Counseling Services, Jenni brings over eight years of diverse experience in the mental health field, with a background in both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation settings. Since 2019, she has focused on supporting students in a school environment and is now excited to return to working with adults, individuals, couples, and families.

Jenni's approach to therapy is deeply rooted in a holistic philosophy that emphasizes empowerment and strength-based strategies. She believes in partnering with clients to understand and meet their unique needs, fostering an environment where they can thrive.

Jenni is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and trained in sex and couples therapy, cannabis use disorder, and working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. Her extensive experience with children informs her practice, allowing her to bring a compassionate and playful perspective to her work with clients of all ages.

Jenni is passionate about creating a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. As she often says, “Be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves, too.” She looks forward to collaborating with clients on their journey to healing and personal growth.

Jenni currently accepts clients with Excellus Blue Cross/Blue Shield and on a private pay basis. Updates will be posted on our website as she becomes credentialed with additional insurance companies. A sliding scale is available for those who may have difficulty paying out-of-pocket. Payment is due at the time of service.

Please note: Jenni is currently available for appointments on Monday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Sundays 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Please contact Jenni to confirm her exact availability.
