About Jennifer

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed social worker who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She listens without judgment and aims to help people improve relationships and day-to-day life. Jennifer uses straightforward language and works together with clients to set goals that matter to them.

Jennifer has 25 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). She has worked in private practice for many years and has supported people facing a wide range of concerns. Her approach is grounded in meeting each person where they are and validating their experience.

In sessions she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work to fit each person’s needs. Jennifer focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and coping strategies that people can use between sessions. She prioritizes collaboration and a simple plan tailored to individual goals.

She draws on personal life experience alongside professional practice, and she is comfortable addressing issues like grief, chronic health challenges, relationship patterns, and stress. Sessions can include problem-solving, emotion regulation strategies, and exploring patterns that keep people stuck.

Jennifer offers sessions in English and Spanish and sees clients in Florida. Before starting, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site’s Start Therapy process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for mood, worry, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop healthier ways of connecting and communicating in adult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer treats the choice of methods as collaborative. She will talk with a client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life. The aim is to match tools to the person, not to stick rigidly to a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives space for practicing new skills in everyday settings and for including work on communication, coping, and routines that matter most to the client.
