About Jennifer

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, action-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She brings 25 years of experience and a calm, straightforward approach. Jennifer speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida.

Jennifer favors approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people clarify values and repair important connections.

Sessions are kept simple and collaborative. Jennifer listens, reflects what she hears, and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She helps people with issues such as depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, addiction concerns, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress.

She also supports people facing complicated life situations like caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric matters, and body image or intimacy-related issues. Jennifer emphasizes practical skills - emotion regulation, communication practice, and problem-solving - that can be used between sessions.

Her style is warm and validating while remaining results-oriented. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Jennifer works in multiple formats so people can choose what fits their life and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT often focuses on clear strategies and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify personal values and take committed action, which can support coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skills with ACT values work or drawing on attachment-based ideas when relationship repair is a focus.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a shorter check-in option, and text-based messaging supports ongoing processing between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to continue skill practice between sessions.
