Getting to know Jennifer Pertofsky-Plotnek
I provide virtual therapy for students, professionals, and adults navigating stress, anxiety, and workâlife balance. With over 20 years of experience, I use CBT, mindfulness, and coaching to help clients build resilience, manage overwhelm, and feel more confident in their daily lives. Licensed in New York, Maryland, and Virginia, I offer a supportive, compassionate space to explore challenges and create sustainable change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where your experiences are valued. I take a collaborative approach, tailoring therapy to your needs using evidence-based strategies like CBT, mindfulness, and coaching. I believe in balancing practical tools with deeper self-exploration, so youâll leave sessions with both insight and actionable steps.
I also know that seeking therapy takes courage, and Iâll meet you where you are â whether youâre navigating stress, anxiety, career challenges, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and confident. My goal is to help you build skills that last well beyond our sessions, so you feel equipped to handle lifeâs challenges and create meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I start by getting to know you â your goals, challenges, and whatâs most important to you right now. In our first sessions, weâll explore what brings you to therapy and begin identifying patterns that may be contributing to stress or anxiety. From there, weâll work together to create a plan that feels realistic and supportive, combining evidence-based strategies like CBT, mindfulness, and coaching.
I view therapy as a collaborative process: you bring your experiences, and I bring tools and guidance to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Along the way, Iâll check in with you regularly to ensure weâre moving at a pace that feels right and adjusting as your needs evolve.

Jenn is kind, professional, and genuinely cares. Her positive perspective and ability to be honest but gentle with her words has been immensely helpful through a tough year. Bonus - she is punctual, flexible with scheduling, and takes my insurance. Jenn is lovely! Would definitely recommend her to others seeking therapy.

I've really appreciated working with Jenn during a season of many life transitions. After reaching out to learn more about her therapy services, Jenn got back to me the same day. She made starting therapy comfortable and hassle-free! Her presence is grounding, and she has been able to both validate my feelings as well as offer practical tools to help me grow.

Jenn creates a safe, nonjudgmental space that feels like talking to a trusted friend. She listens actively, keeps an open mind, and uses open-ended questions to gently guide conversationsâespecially the ones people often avoid. Her approach encourages honest dialogue and emotional exploration without fear. Jenn is amazing and I'm so blessed to have found her!

Jenn is great! She always clearly wants to help make you as comfortable as possible and does a fantastic job of helping get to the root causes of potential issues. Always super punctual as well, which may be overlooked in the grand scheme of things as a small thing, but is especially nice when you'd just be sitting in a zoom waiting room otherwise!

Jennifer not only listened to me but assured me that our meeting was a safe space where I could speak freely about the stuff I was struggling with prior to us meeting and helped me unravel feelings I had been struggling with for quite a while now. Would definitely recommend!!!
