About Jennifer
Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed LMFT with ten years of experience in family support, counseling, and therapy. She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, family problems, and career stress. She also helps with grief, mood concerns, parenting challenges, and issues tied to family of origin.
Her style centers on listening and helping clients notice patterns that repeat from earlier family life. She treats clients as the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than long explanations.
Jennifer uses approaches that translate into everyday work. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to a person. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.
She also brings methods aimed at relationship dynamics when communication or commitment causes problems. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is making changes around substance use or habits. Narrative ideas can help reframe how people tell the story of their family history.
Her background as a military veteran informs an understanding of service-related stress and some veteran and armed forces issues. She has supported people navigating family dependency legal situations and those coping with midlife shifts or finding life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English in Florida, and international clients are not accepted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone wants a therapist to follow their pace and priorities and to build on existing strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions in plain terms and tests small changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, eating concerns, and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are considering change, such as reducing substance use or improving self-care. It uses short, collaborative conversations to clarify goals and increase motivation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. That collaborative check-in is built into early sessions so the approach reflects the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when an in-person visit might be harder to schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication skills work, and motivational conversations to an online setting while focusing on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
