About Jennifer
Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 25 years of counseling experience to her practice. She uses a calm, judgment-free approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and is based in Florida.
Jennifer focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. She listens first to understand what matters most, then works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward strategies for coping, communication, and emotion regulation. Her background includes long-term clinical work and independent practice experience. She has supported people through health crises, career transitions, and recovery from addiction.
That life experience informs how she helps people handle big changes and persistent challenges. Jennifer draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment ideas to strengthen values-based action, and attachment-informed perspectives to improve relationship patterns.
She aims to make these approaches easy to use in everyday life. Clients can expect empathy, clear feedback, and a team-oriented way of working. Jennifer emphasizes validation and helps people notice what they do well while building new skills.
She does not provide letters for medical, work, school, or legal purposes. To begin, she asks people to share their main concerns and goals so she can match strategies to their needs. Her style is direct but warm, focused on helping people move forward in concrete ways.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleep, and focus. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can be helpful for intimacy and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set realistic goals and try strategies in ways that fit the person’s daily life, then adjust those strategies as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions work well for longer therapy visits and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
