About Jennifer

Jennifer Spinner, LICSW, LCSW, practices in Florida and has 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide her work.

Jennifer describes a straightforward, listening-based approach. She begins by hearing what matters to the client and works collaboratively on a plan. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer communication. The aim is improved day-to-day functioning and stronger relationships.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice and private practice experience. That history informs how she responds to grief, loss, chronic illness, and significant life stressors. She draws on multiple therapy styles to match a person’s goals rather than using a single method.

Jennifer also notes personal experience with cancer and with raising a child who had special needs. Those experiences inform her understanding of caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and resilience after hardship. She brings this perspective into conversations about illness, aging, and caregiving.

She offers sessions in English and Spanish. The profile clarifies that she does not write letters for medical, work, school, court, or pet therapy purposes. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with intimacy issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and some eating concerns.

Jennifer will work with a client to figure out which approach or combination fits best. She treats finding the right method as a collaborative process that depends on the person’s goals, history, and preferences.

Confirm the session formats directly before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT techniques to remote sessions to focus on skills, processing, and behavior change.
