About Jennifer
Jennifer Marvin is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four decades of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and life transitions. She also supports people navigating ADHD and LGBTQ related concerns.
Her approach is respectful, direct, and rooted in practical help. She focuses on simple, step-by-step strategies people can use between sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and goals.
She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps identify small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal setting, problem solving, and skills for managing strong feelings. Jennifer draws on evidence-based techniques to help with coping, mood management, and relapse prevention for substance use. She helps people organize routines and strategies when ADHD symptoms get in the way of work or relationships.
Her style is warm and matter-of-fact. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can try new ways of handling stress. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Jennifer has worked in a range of clinical settings over 40 years. That background gives her experience with grief, trauma, chronic illness, and complicated family dynamics. She tailors plans to each person’s life, goals, and pace.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; this supports reductions in anxiety and low mood and gives tools for everyday situations. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - breaking tasks into small steps, building routines, and using concrete coping plans - which often helps with ADHD, motivation, and managing urges related to addiction.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will choose which techniques to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging lets someone communicate between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
