About

Jennifer Plunkett Skibins is an LCSW based in New York who focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes. With nearly two decades of professional practice, she offers a calm, grounded presence for people navigating transitions and loss. Her work attends to practical patterns and everyday interactions that shape how people relate to themselves and others.

She views resilience as an essential resource and supports clients as they regroup, refocus, and renew their commitment to their lives. In sessions she helps identify behavior patterns that feel limiting and explores alternatives that better align with personal goals. Areas of attention include communication problems, attachment and family of origin issues, pregnancy and childbirth, hospice and end-of-life counseling, aging and geriatric concerns, and issues specific to women and young adults.

Jennifer approaches each case as a collaborative effort, inviting clients to take an active role in setting priorities and testing new ways of responding. Her practice is oriented toward practical change and toward helping people build routines and responses that reflect their values and needs.

Online sessions for relationships, grief, and life transitions



Jennifer offers remote sessions that address relationship strains, family dynamics, grief, self esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. The profile does not list specific clinical approaches. Instead, her online practice centers on working together to identify unhelpful patterns and to develop alternative ways of relating and responding in everyday life. She attends to attachment issues, communication difficulties, and family of origin themes as part of that work.

Teletherapy conversations can also focus on topics such as pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, hospice and end-of-life planning, aging and geriatric concerns, women’s issues, and challenges faced by young adults. Jennifer frames online sessions as collaborative, setting goals and experimenting with small changes that fit each person’s circumstances.

Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing several ways to connect depending on what feels most practical for the client.
