Jennifer Spinner

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker with LICSW and LCSW credentials and 25 years of clinical experience. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence and practical help for people facing life changes, stress, grief, relationship strain, and anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to help clients feel heard and understood from the start.

Jennifer blends several practical therapies to meet each person where they are. She listens closely to what matters most and helps build a straightforward plan shaped by a client’s goals. Work may include learning tools to manage strong emotions, improving communication, or finding ways to cope with loss and health challenges.

Her background includes long experience in clinical settings and private practice. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused work, cognitive tools, and skills from emotion- and behavior-focused therapies. This variety allows her to adapt strategies to different concerns and personalities.

Jennifer emphasizes teamwork in sessions. She helps clients set realistic steps and checks progress along the way. She does not write letters for medical, school, work, court, or pet therapy purposes.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability. Jennifer uses an ongoing subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that connect with what matters. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connections; it helps when relationship worries or attachment issues cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so the plan reflects what actually helps in daily life.

The therapist’s exact online session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone depending on how they want to work and what best supports regular attendance. Licensed professionals will work with clients to arrange practical scheduling and format choices that match goals and routines.
