About Jennifer
Jennifer Spinner is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical steps people can use to feel better. She uses a compassionate, listening-first approach to help with sleep concerns and the things that affect rest. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida as a LICSW and LCSW with 25 years of experience.
She asks where someone is starting from and builds a plan from there. Sessions often involve tracking routines, trying small behavior changes, and talking through what gets in the way of better sleep or daily functioning. Jennifer also pays attention to relationships, mood, stress, and life transitions that affect rest and energy.
Her background includes experience across many life challenges such as grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction, and major life changes. She emphasizes clear communication and practical coping skills like grounding, scheduling, and thought work. These tools are offered in a straightforward way so people can use them between sessions.
Jennifer aims to work as a team with clients. She listens without judgment and helps people name goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. She does not provide written letters for medical, work, school, pet therapy, court, or similar requests.
People who choose her can expect an empathic listener who blends several common therapy methods to address sleep problems, stress, and related concerns. The focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches that support rest and daily routine
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small meaningful steps toward those values while managing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry or rumination keeps someone awake at night. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and routines interact; in sleep work this often means changing habits, adjusting schedules, and testing beliefs about sleep to improve rest. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationships shape stress and safety; addressing those patterns can reduce nighttime worry and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and tweaking the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let people use tools, worksheets, and routine tracking between sessions to build better sleep habits and manage stress in day-to-day life.
