About

Jennifer Paradysz, LICSW, is a clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, complex trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, including experiences of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. She earned her master’s degree from the University of New England with a clinical focus on trauma and PTSD, and she brings that specialized training into thoughtful, steady care that also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, divorce and separation, parenting and co-parenting, self-confidence, and relationship challenges.

Her work emphasizes an empathetic, connected therapeutic relationship where clients can feel supported as they explore patterns, strengthen coping, and rebuild trust in daily life and relationships. Jennifer takes an integrated, strengths-based approach and collaborates with clients to clarify goals and create a path forward that fits their needs and pace.

Drawing from a range of modalities, she may incorporate affect regulation strategies, mind-body techniques, EMDR (a structured approach often used to help process distressing memories), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. She also integrates creative, therapeutic art techniques when helpful. Day, evening, and weekend hours are available, and she welcomes questions from prospective clients.

Evidence-Informed Approaches, Built for Online Support

Jennifer Paradysz, LICSW, integrates several therapy methods that can translate well to online care. In Attachment-Based Therapy, the focus is on how early relationship experiences can shape current patterns in connection, trust, and emotional regulation, which can be especially helpful for relationship stress, family-of-origin concerns, and the aftereffects of trauma.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT can help clients develop coping tools for stress, anxiety, depressed mood, and day-to-day overwhelm by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new responses. When appropriate, she may incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a structured method often used to help people work through distressing memories and reduce the intensity of triggers over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the plan to match their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy and get support in a format that fits real life.
