About Jennifer
Jennifer Grau-Keyser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She works with parents and families facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, parenting challenges, and LGBTQ issues. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy caregivers.
Sessions focus on clear goals, real coping skills, and steady support through life changes. She brings eight years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. Jennifer has treated trauma from domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual violence, combat experiences, and natural disasters.
Background and approach
She helps people manage symptoms that can follow trauma, such as chronic stress, anger, low self-esteem, substance use, and relationship strain. Her style is client-driven and strengths based. She emphasizes trust, a nonjudgmental stance, and active listening.
The work usually centers on building skills, improving communication, and addressing practical family or parenting problems. Jennifer uses a range of therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive and behavioral tools, emotion-focused strategies, mindfulness, and acceptance-based techniques.
These are used to teach concrete strategies for managing mood, behavior, and relationships. Parents will find an emphasis on problem-solving and clear plans. Jennifer supports families through transitions, grief, and challenging behaviors.
She aims to make therapy fit daily life, with steps that families can try between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and build simple actions that match those values. ACT teaches skills for noticing thoughts and choosing meaningful steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding. CBT focuses on concrete strategies for mood, sleep, and behavior changes that parents and teens can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit each family’s needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as new issues arise.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. They also allow parents and teens to use skills learned in therapy during everyday routines and to check in between appointments when needed.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
