About Jennifer
Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She holds a DC LICSW and an ND LCSW and practices from Florida. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting, and other everyday strains that show up at home.
Jennifer emphasizes practical listening and straightforward conversation. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work, and Cognitive Behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters and make small, steady changes. Sessions aim to clarify what is getting in the way and to build skills for daily life.
Her background includes long experience in private practice and a range of life challenges that inform her perspective. She has managed health crises and supported caregiving responsibilities, and she says those experiences shape how she relates to people facing hard transitions.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication, emotion regulation, and rebuilding routines that support better sleep, appetite, and daily functioning. She also addresses topics like intimacy-related issues, addictions, self-esteem, and work stress. The emphasis is on practical steps that reduce distress and improve relationships.
Jennifer works with individuals in English and Spanish. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session arrangements and the subscription-based cost structure that applies in their location.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them. It focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect what matters in life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. It can be useful for communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-based relationship where the therapist follows the client's priorities. This approach supports people who want to sort through feelings and make practical changes at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, current struggles, and preferences to decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel. It also allows therapists to practice CBT and DBT skills in the context of everyday life, such as planning exposure tasks, practicing communication, or tracking mood and sleep between meetings.
