Rachel Parodneck & Associates PsychotherapyVirtual Therapy Across New York State
Jenn Ritchie, LMSW
Psychotherapist
Jenn works with healthcare professionals, caregivers, and others in demanding helping roles - and with adults and couples navigating life transitions - addressing anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, and relationship challenges with an approach that is warm, direct, and goal-oriented.
"Therapy can be a place to step out of the role of taking care of everyone else, better understand what you need, and make meaningful changes in your own life and relationships."
About Jenn
You spend your days caring for others - but by the time the workday ends, you may have very little left for yourself or the people you love. Jenn especially enjoys working with healthcare professionals and others in demanding helping roles who are accustomed to being the person everyone else relies on. Together, you can address anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, relationship challenges, and the difficulty of balancing your own needs with the responsibilities you carry for others.
She also works with adults and couples navigating major life transitions, communication difficulties, family stress, and periods of disconnection or uncertainty. Her style is warm, collaborative, and supportive, but also direct and goal-oriented: sessions give you space to feel heard while helping you understand patterns, develop practical tools, and identify concrete next steps - so progress continues between sessions, not just in them.
For clients who would like spirituality or Christian faith to be part of the work, Jenn welcomes faith-informed conversations and can thoughtfully integrate them into therapy - always optional and guided by your preferences and values. She earned her Master of Social Work from Fordham University and provides virtual therapy to clients in New York and Florida.

What Clients Say
"I've been working with Jennifer for some time now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients' well being. What sets her apart is her commitment to not only listening but also providing practical tools and resources, including valuable links and reference guides that help you continue learning outside of sessions. Jennifer has guided me through some tough moments with compassion and expertise, and I always leave our sessions feeling more empowered and equipped to handle whatever life throws my way."
"Jen is the best person therapist I've had, she goes above and beyond the call of duty for her patients. You will not be disappointed when working with her!"
