About Jennifer

Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinician who centers Internal Family Systems alongside other evidence-based methods to help clients explore inner conflicts and strengthen emotional resilience.

Background and approach

With 25 years of clinical practice and licenses as a LICSW and LCSW (DC LICSW LC200002316, ND LCSW 6325), she draws on a broad clinical toolkit to address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, addiction, mood disorders, and other life transitions. Her approach combines attentive listening with pragmatic strategies tailored to each person's priorities.

Clients can expect collaborative treatment planning that honors their experience and preferences. Jennifer uses ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, and client-centered techniques as needed to support changes in behavior, emotion regulation, and interpersonal patterns.

Bilingual in English and Spanish and based in Florida, she offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules. Her practice emphasizes practical progress, compassionate support, and developing skills that translate into everyday life.

Integrating IFS and ACT into flexible online care

Internal Family Systems helps people understand and soften the inner parts that carry painful beliefs or habits, creating space for a more compassionate sense of self and improved emotional balance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses patterns in relationships by exploring early bonds and how they shape current communication and trust.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's concerns, goals, and preferences and then tailor a plan using one or more methods that feel most useful. That shared planning helps ensure sessions stay focused on practical steps and emotional understanding that matter to the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent work, maintain momentum between meetings, and access care from a convenient location while partnering with a licensed professional.
