Who We Help in Jersey City

If you’re juggling work and family or you’ve noticed anxiety or mood changes that feel hard to manage, therapy can help.

We most often work with employed adults, young professionals, parents, and caregivers in Jersey City who want practical, skills-based support for anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, or relationship stress. You’ll find clinicians who use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches and who tailor treatment to your goals and schedule.

Our Therapy Services in Jersey City

We offer in-person appointments and secure virtual therapy so Jersey City residents can access care on their schedule. Below are the confirmed therapy modalities Citron Hennessey provides and the kinds of concerns we commonly address; clinicians will match approach, pace, and format to your goals and safety needs.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is used for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories. Work typically begins with stabilization and assessment, then moves into phased reprocessing across several sessions until targeted memories feel less activating and daily functioning improves.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). CBT helps you spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Sessions focus on practical skills, short between-session practice, and measurable goals to track progress.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which are skills that help when emotions feel intense or relationships are strained. Treatment can include individual work and skills practice.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). ACT is values-driven: it teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts while helping you choose actions that align with what matters most, making it useful for chronic worry, rumination, and avoidance.
REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy). REBT targets rigid or self-defeating beliefs, teaching more flexible, reality-based thinking to reduce distress and improve decision-making in daily life.
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). AEDP is attachment-informed, helping clients safely access core emotions and transform painful patterns through corrective emotional experiences in the therapeutic relationship.
Choice Theory / Reality Therapy. This present-centered, decision-focused approach helps you examine current choices, increase personal responsibility, and build concrete plans for change, which are helpful for motivation and life-structure work.

Clinicians tailor which modality (or combination of modalities) to your needs, and will recommend individual work, higher levels of care, or referrals when clinical complexity requires specialized services.

Couples Therapy in Jersey City

If you searched for couples therapy in Jersey City, you aren’t alone. When joint work is appropriate, our clinicians will discuss whether a couples track fits your goals or provide a trusted referral. When couples work is offered or recommended, clinicians typically combine evidence-based communication tools like structured exercises, repair-and-rebuild strategies, and emotion-focused interventions with short between-session practice to help partners use new skills in real life. Sessions generally run forty-five to sixty minutes; many couples begin weekly and move to biweekly as progress is made. Clinicians also commonly recommend parallel individual therapy when one partner has significant trauma, mood symptoms, or other clinical needs that require focused individual attention. If relationship concerns are driven primarily by conditions outside Citron Hennessey’s scope (for example, Bipolar I, Borderline Personality Disorder, heavy substance use, eating disorders, or schizophrenia), clinicians will provide timely referrals to specialist relationship or psychiatric programs.

How Therapy Works Here

We offer in-person appointments and secure virtual therapy so Jersey City residents can access care on their schedule.

Initial intake/assessment. Your first session includes clinical history, current symptoms, a safety screen, medication and prior-treatment review, and your immediate goals so clinicians can match level of care and urgency.
Collaborative treatment plan. Together, you and your clinician choose an evidence-based approach (EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, AEDP, or Choice Theory/Reality Therapy) and set measurable objectives and a tentative timeline for work.
Session logistics. Typical sessions last forty-five to sixty minutes; frequency ranges from weekly to biweekly depending on acuity and goals. Clinicians review progress periodically and adjust the plan to ensure that it remains satisfactory and realistic.
Privacy & records. Your sessions and records are handled under standard clinical confidentiality; clinicians will explain record-keeping and secure telehealth practices at intake.
