About Jennifer

Jennifer Cohen is a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She offers supportive counseling for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and life transitions. She also helps with relationship and parenting concerns and coaching around self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Her early work included roles in public schools, foster care settings, and adoption agencies. That background shaped a practical style focused on clear steps and realistic goals. Sessions emphasize understanding what feels hard now and finding small changes that make daily life easier.

Jennifer uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different ways of responding. Solution-focused strategies are used to set concrete goals and try short-term experiments between meetings.

People can expect conversation that is direct and supportive. The therapist listens, helps clarify what matters most, and suggests tools to try between sessions. Jennifer aims to make progress manageable, not overwhelming.

Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome related concerns, communication problems, family problems, and challenges common to young adults. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening and helping clients name what matters most so sessions stay relevant to real life. It is useful for people who need a steady, respectful space to think things through.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it breaks problems into steps you can work on between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, concrete goals and tests quick changes to see what helps right away.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and permit flexible check-ins during work breaks or between other commitments. Many people find virtual sessions help keep momentum between in-person visits and allow focused, goal-oriented work without rearranging a whole day.
