About Jennifer
Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker with both a DC LICSW and an ND LCSW and 25 years of counseling experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and family of origin patterns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she practices in Florida.
Jennifer begins by listening to what matters to the client. She uses that information to set practical goals and a straightforward plan. Sessions focus on real-life problems like communication, coping with life changes, and managing mood or attention challenges.
Her approach combines methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills for daily life.
Jennifer has long experience supporting people through health crises, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. She also has personal experience with cancer survivorship and raising a child with special needs, which informs her practical understanding of long-term challenges.
Practical matters are addressed directly. She does not write letters for medical, work, school, court, or pet therapy reasons. If a session is not canceled at least 24 hours in advance it will be reported to the hosting service. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small actions that align with them. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns that began in early relationships and how they show up now, helping people understand and revise those patterns.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, discuss which methods seem most useful, and adapt the plan based on preferences and goals. It is common to combine elements from more than one approach to address relationship patterns, anxiety, or coping skills.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits everyday life.
