About

Dr. Jennifer Gildner offers psychotherapy exclusively through asynchronous in-app messaging and does not meet with clients via video or voice chat. She reviews messages on weekday evenings and does not check messages on weekends. She is not able to complete mental health forms or letters, such as requests for emotional support animals, Workman’s Compensation documentation, or confirmations of services.

Her practice emphasizes empowerment by helping intention become action. Dr. Gildner uses a collaborative yet challenging approach, working from a strengths-based perspective to help individuals discover answers that already reside within them. She welcomes clients to express their needs for therapy and makes space to explore how cultural background influences presenting concerns. Mindfulness is central to her work as clients develop new thoughts and behaviors aimed at improving daily life.

She works with people on a range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping disorders, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people. A major benefit is flexibility - you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. Each therapist you work with is a licensed professional, and you always have the option to change therapists if you are looking for a different fit. Online therapy can offer practical access and comparable outcomes for many common mental health needs.
