About Jennifer
Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of experience supporting people through parenting stress, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She uses a direct, respectful style and believes clients are experts in their own stories. Jennifer focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions to see real change.
Her approach centers on listening first and then building small, workable strategies. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and create new behaviors that reduce stress and anxiety. Jennifer also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals when they feel stuck. For couples and relationship concerns she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflict.
Narrative Therapy techniques help people rewrite painful parts of their past in a way that opens up new possibilities. She has a background in family support and professional counseling and has worked with people facing family dependency systems and adolescents in middle and high school settings.
Jennifer pays attention to life context, including work and military-connected experiences, when helping clients set realistic goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and planning for real-world steps.
Jennifer encourages parents and individuals to try changes one step at a time and to notice small improvements as they go.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects understanding, helps clarify goals, and supports the client in making choices that feel right. This approach is helpful for parents who want someone to hear their concerns and build from their strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought that lead to stress or unhelpful behavior and then tries small experiments to change those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and behavior change related to addiction or parenting routines.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between appointments or get support when scheduling a real-time session is harder. These options increase flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and consistent progress.
