About Jennifer
Jennifer Spinner is a licensed social worker who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She uses a person-centered, existential lens to help people clarify what matters to them and make changes that fit their lives. Jennifer speaks English and Spanish and draws on a range of evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and why it matters.
Background and approach
She listens closely, helps people name their values, and works alongside them to build realistic steps forward. Conversations are held with respect and without judgment. Jennifer has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and life transitions.
She also supports concerns such as body image, attachment and communication problems, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and parenting challenges. Her background includes navigating serious health issues and caregiving, which informs a down-to-earth perspective on coping. Trained initially at Boston University, she emphasizes starting where the person is and validating their experience.
She crafts individualized plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Expect a collaborative process that combines existential questions about meaning with practical skills drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Existential therapy helps people examine what matters most in their lives and make choices aligned with their values. It often involves asking open questions about meaning, responsibility, and priorities to help people move through transitions and uncertainty.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, mixes acceptance of difficult feelings with committed action toward goals. It teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts without getting stuck and for taking small steps toward what feels important. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and communication. It supports rebuilding connection and improving emotional regulation in relationships.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This remains a flexible process and can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing reminders. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
