About Jennifer

Jennifer Grau-Keyser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship struggles, grief, parenting pressures, and issues connected to family of origin. She also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are client driven and grounded in practical tools from cognitive and behavioral methods. Jennifer emphasizes building trust and offering a nonjudgmental space to talk through recurring patterns that began in childhood or the family someone grew up in.

She commonly uses strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. Those methods are used to address symptoms and to change unhelpful patterns in thinking, feeling, and relating. Sessions often include skill practice and clear steps to manage stress, mood, and difficult reactions.

Jennifer has experience with a wide range of challenges linked to past hurt, including attachment and abandonment issues, domestic violence, and complex responses to trauma. She also addresses blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. This experience informs her work with family-of-origin themes and how early roles and expectations continue to affect present relationships.

Practical problem solving and skills training are part of her work. She helps people set small, doable goals and track changes between sessions. Her style is direct and steady, focusing on what can be done now to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Online approaches and how they fit

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking action toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and long-standing patterns tied to family expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with clients to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding ACT exercises, or practicing DBT techniques for managing intense reactions. The plan is adjusted based on what helps in real life.

Formats for sessions are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them practice skills in the settings where problems occur, and therapists can guide homework and tracking between meetings.
