Jennifer Spinner, LICSW, LCSW

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people improve relationships and daily life. She brings 25 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a listening space where clients feel heard and understood. Jennifer uses practical, people-centered care to help clients move forward from hard times.

She frames work around what matters to each person. That starts with clear listening and validation - acknowledging feelings so clients feel seen. From there she helps set goals and builds a plan tailored to individual needs, whether someone is coping with grief, addiction, career shifts, or stress and anxiety.

Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Jennifer describes therapy as collaborative - she works alongside clients to choose techniques that match goals and circumstances. Her approach emphasizes skill-building and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Jennifer also speaks Spanish in addition to English and brings long experience supporting people through health challenges, caregiving strain, family and relationship concerns, and life transitions. She notes that she will not write letters for medical, work, school, court, or pet therapy reasons. The focus in sessions is on practical steps clients can use in everyday life.

People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Jennifer aims to help clients find manageable ways to reduce distress and strengthen connections over time.

How specific approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and dealing with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks closely at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress, often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy, communication, and trust concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use, based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful in sessions. She adapts techniques so they fit real-life problems and everyday routines rather than following a rigid script.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their own daily context and bring examples from real life into the conversation. Licensed professionals can help tailor frequency and session focus so therapy supports steady, workable progress.
