Jennifer Spinner, LICSW, LCSW

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate major life shifts. She uses a warm, person-centered approach and listens first to understand what each person needs. Jennifer aims to help clients improve relationships, manage stress and anxiety, and cope with big changes like career moves, grief, or health challenges.

She combines practical skills with steady emotional support. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Techniques draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-focused work to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Jennifer brings long experience in private practice and in community settings. She has personal experience with serious health challenges and caring for a child with special needs, which informs a realistic, compassionate outlook. Those life experiences shape how she listens and responds to complex problems like chronic illness, caregiver stress, or trauma recovery.

Clients can expect validation and a collaborative plan tailored to their priorities. Jennifer emphasizes communication skills, coping strategies, and rebuilding satisfying connections. She also supports people dealing with identity, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, and career stress.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear tools for mood, sleep, and stress problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can adapt over time as goals change and progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during breaks, or providing a way to keep continuity when schedules shift. They also let therapists use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and meeting notes that clients can review between appointments to keep momentum.
