Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Jennifer Spinner, LICSW, LCSW, draws from established therapy approaches to support clients with concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new, more workable responses. It can be especially helpful for people who want practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making situations worse, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships feel volatile. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful steps forward, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up along the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has and has not worked before, and which strategies fit their preferences and goals.
Online therapy can make getting support more flexible and accessible. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into real life and stay engaged between sessions.
