Jennifer Plunkett Skibins, LCSW

Jennifer Plunkett Skibins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience who believes in the resilience of the human spirit. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, supporting people as they regroup, refocus, and renew their commitment to themselves and their lives. Jennifer helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier behaviors that support the life they want to build.

Her work centers on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including issues related to aging, attachment, communication, and end-of-life transitions. Jennifer combines practical skill-building with compassionate exploration to address the patterns that hold people back and to strengthen their capacity for change. As an LCSW, she brings clinical training in assessment and intervention along with a strengths-based perspective that honors each personâs capacity to recover and grow.

Clients seeking support through major life transitions, parenting and family challenges, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, or grief and hospice-related concerns will find a practitioner who values partnership, clear goals, and steady guidance. Jennifer practices from New York and works with people who are ready to make intentional changes and cultivate greater well-being in their relationships and daily lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Jennifer uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill-building and thoughtful exploration. She offers focused work on coping strategies and emotion management to help people navigate life changes and strengthen self-esteem, teaching actionable tools that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She also provides attachment-focused and relationship work that examines communication patterns and family of origin issues to help clients build healthier connections and resolve recurring conflicts. In addition, Jennifer offers grief-focused support tailored to loss and end-of-life transitions, helping people process feelings and find ways to integrate change into their lives.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, adapting techniques over time so the care fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Jennifer is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and access from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods while working with licensed professionals who can guide progress and adjust treatment as needs evolve.
