About Jennifer

Jennifer Bassett is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings ten years of experience in counseling and family support to each session.

Background and approach

Jennifer writes simply and listens carefully so clients can talk through what matters most to them. Her approach centers on helping people find practical steps that fit their lives.

She uses conversation-based methods to unpack patterns, build communication skills, and set achievable goals. Sessions focus on clear tools for stress, sleep, anger, and coping with grief or parenting challenges.

Jennifer draws on both cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered conversation to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support healthier communication and connection in relationships.

Motivational Interviewing and narrative work shape how she helps people shift motivation and reshape personal stories. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and a focus on small, concrete change.

Jennifer treats the person in front of her as the expert in their life and offers guidance that matches each client's goals. She aims to make sessions practical and manageable for busy lives.

Jennifer is licensed in Florida as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and conducts therapy in English. Her background includes supporting people with addiction, family origin issues, codependency, and challenges tied to career and life purpose.

How Jennifer's Approaches Work Online

Jennifer uses the Gottman Method ideas to help people and partners improve communication and reduce recurring conflict, focusing on clear behaviors and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, placing the client's experience at the center and helping people feel heard while they sort through choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with different actions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress is made so the approach stays useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when life is busy, and all formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules.
