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 practices in Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addictions, codependency, and other life changes. Jennifer speaks English and Spanish.
Jennifer draws on respectful listening and practical tools to help people stabilize day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and setting reasonable boundaries. She uses straightforward techniques rather than jargon, and she pays attention to what matters most to each person.
Her background includes long-term clinical work and experience supporting people through serious health issues and caregiving challenges. That history informs how she helps when loss, chronic illness, or major transitions are involved. She also brings experience with attachment-related concerns and with people who struggle around intimacy and control.
Therapeutic methods Jennifer uses include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and choose actions, and attachment-based work to notice relationship patterns. She also integrates client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed.
Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps. Jennifer asks about current struggles and offers tools to test between sessions. She does not provide letters for medical, work, school, pet therapy, court, or similar purposes.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters and take steps toward those values even when feelings are intense. It can help with codependency patterns by focusing on chosen actions rather than getting stuck in others' demands. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics in current relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, struggles, and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so the work fits what the client needs over time.
The therapist's online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice new communication skills in everyday settings and bring concrete examples from recent interactions into the session.
