About Jennifer

Jennifer Spinner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of counseling experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach and aims to help people improve relationships and daily life. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida.

Jennifer frames sessions around what matters most to each person. She listens closely and validates feelings so clients feel understood. She draws on several therapeutic tools to address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, mood concerns, caregiving strain, and aging and geriatric issues among other concerns.

Her background includes long experience in clinical settings and in private practice. She also draws on personal life experience that informs her empathy, including serious health and caregiving challenges. That perspective shapes how she supports people facing life transitions or chronic health stressors.

In session she collaborates with people to set practical goals and to build a tailored plan. Methods she uses include cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Sessions mix talking, problem solving, and skill practice.

Jennifer emphasizes clear communication and steady support. She helps people work through parenting strain, career stress, identity and intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and coping after loss. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act on values that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with health issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people rebuild trust and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time so techniques change as needs evolve, and clients are involved in planning each step.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life changes. Ask about available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
