About Jennifer
Jennifer Bassett is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with addiction, relationship strain, trauma, parenting stress, and life changes.
Background and approach
Jennifer also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and career concerns. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations often center on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and setting realistic goals.
Jennifer uses several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change.
The Gottman Method and narrative techniques also appear in her work when relationship dynamics or personal stories need attention. Her background includes a decade supporting military-connected individuals and families, and she has experience with the family dependency legal system and adolescent concerns.
That history informs how she thinks about structure, resilience, and practical problem solving. Sessions aim to be concrete and focused.
Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning for small experiments between sessions. Jennifer emphasizes compassion and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy places the person and their goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters most to the client, and helps shape the work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, seeing what works, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can make this work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving duties.
