About Jennifer
Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience. She provides support for people facing addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and other family-related concerns. Her practice also covers issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, career stress, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
She draws on approaches that center the client's perspective. Sessions begin with listening to the person’s story and spotting practical steps that fit their life. Jennifer uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help clients change unhelpful patterns and build new routines.
Her background includes military service and work supporting families involved with dependency legal systems. That experience informs how she talks about boundaries, safety, and follow-through when families are under pressure. She has also worked with adolescents in middle and high school settings.
Typical topics she addresses include codependency, communication problems, commitment issues, drug and alcohol addiction, and midlife or career transitions. She also supports people dealing with LGBT matters, compassion fatigue, and veteran-related issues.
Jennifer describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify strengths, try small changes, and track what helps. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching steps and schedule a first session using the site tools.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches available for online work
Jennifer commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work means listening closely to how someone tells their story and using that as the basis for setting goals. It helps people who need to feel heard while they figure out next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and behavior change such as substance use adjustments.
The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship topics by emphasizing clear communication and practical skills for managing conflict. It is useful when someone wants concrete tools to improve how they relate to important people in their life.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques as needs change. This is part of the early sessions so plans can be adjusted.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can still use the same evidence-based methods in remote sessions while helping people integrate changes into everyday life.
