About Jennifer

Jennifer Bassett is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She draws on ten years of practical counseling experience in Florida to help people facing addictions, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Jennifer speaks plainly and centers the person in front of her, treating them as the expert on their own story.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each client.

Background and approach

Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and steps clients can try between meetings. Jennifer aims to make therapy feel doable for busy families and stressed individuals. Her work covers a broad range of issues that affect family life, including communication problems, codependency, parenting challenges, and substance use struggles.

She also addresses mood differences like depression and bipolar disorder, as well as stress, sleep, and self-esteem concerns. The focus is on practical changes that improve daily life. Jennifer’s background includes supporting people through family dependency matters and working with adolescents in middle and high school.

She brings a calm, respectful presence and encourages clients to use their strengths when making changes. She emphasizes collaboration and real-world strategies over jargon. In sessions she may draw from several approaches to suit the person’s needs.

Her goal is to help clients find clearer paths through conflict, build healthier routines, and feel more connected to their priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jennifer frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions. This approach helps people who need space to sort out feelings and priorities at their own pace.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical coping steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, sleep problems, and behavior change work where concrete tools can make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels realistic for a client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling family schedules or long days. Video and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between meetings or use a format that feels easier. These options can make it simpler to keep momentum and apply new skills in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
