Jennifer Spinner

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, loss, or life change. Her approach centers on listening first and working together to set realistic goals.

She draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she listens and responds, so sessions focus on understanding relationships and emotional patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and coping strategies are priorities.

Jennifer emphasizes plain talk and clear steps. She helps people who are coping with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and challenges like body image or chronic illness. Anger is among the issues she addresses, and she offers practical tools for managing it day to day.

Clients can expect a collaborative plan tailored to their needs. Jennifer says she starts where the client is and builds from there, offering validation and straightforward feedback. She notes lived experience with serious health and family challenges, and brings that perspective into supportive, strength-focused work.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are based in Florida. She does not work with international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats when they schedule so they understand current options and logistics.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, grief, and anger.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors. CBT provides short-term tools for changing patterns that keep problems going, such as sleep disruption, panic, or compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review goals, past efforts, and preferences to choose methods that fit the person's needs. That process is collaborative, and adjustments are made as new information emerges.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow more flexible scheduling, and support ongoing practice between sessions. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins while others allow more in-depth work, so ask about what will best match practical needs and goals.
