About
Jennifer Spinner, LICSW, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who brings decades of counseling experience to her work with adults, couples, and families navigating life transitions and emotional stressors.

Her perspective is shaped not only by years of clinical practice, but also by lived experience, including surviving cancer, living through hurricanes, and raising a child with special needs. These experiences inform an empathic, grounded style that prioritizes validation, careful listening, and practical support for challenges such as relationship strain, communication problems, divorce, addiction, parenting concerns, grief, career stress, and health-related changes.
Jennifer collaborates with clients as a team, helping them define goals and create a personalized plan that reflects their needs, strengths, and values. She has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures and draws from multiple therapeutic methods to support progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches, made accessible online
Jennifer Spinner integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients work through stress, relationship concerns, and major life changes in a way that feels practical and supportive.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by identifying patterns that keep people stuck and practicing new ways of responding.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It can support people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, conflict, or impulsive reactions and want steadier coping tools.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It often centers on values, resilience, and taking meaningful steps even when life feels challenging.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then tailors the work so the strategies fit the person, not the other way around.
Online therapy adds flexibility and access, making it easier to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can help clients stay consistent with care and choose the format that best supports their schedule and comfort.
