About Jennifer
Jennifer Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. She speaks English and has four years of formal experience as an LCSW, while drawing on two decades of prior work with adults, children, and families in varied settings.
Her style is calm and patient, aimed at helping worried parents and caregivers find clearer ways forward.
Background and approach
She uses a person-centered approach that lets clients lead the conversation and discover their own solutions. Sessions focus on practical steps and on talking through feelings, patterns, and reactions that get in the way of daily life. Jennifer aims to create a supportive space where people can speak honestly about fears, grief, anger, or parenting struggles.
Her training path includes a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Florida and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida International University. She earned her Florida LCSW license (SW16005) in 2019 and combines that credential with longstanding experience in community and clinical settings. In sessions she encourages reflection and gradual change rather than quick fixes.
She helps clients sort through emotions, set manageable goals, and try new approaches at home. Parents can expect straightforward guidance about coping, communication, and setting boundaries with children. Jennifer offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She works with international clients as well. To begin, she asks interested people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for families
Jennifer draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques suited to family and parenting concerns. One approach is person-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so individuals and parents can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings without pressure.Another common method involves practical skills training for coping and emotion management. This includes straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, handle anger, and improve everyday interactions with children and family members. These skills are taught and practiced in session so they can be used at home.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers real flexibility for busy families. Jennifer provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so caregivers can fit therapy into their day. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new strategies in real time at home.
