Jennifer Bassett, LMFT

Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of clinical experience. She draws on her background as a military veteran and a decade of family support and counseling to help people facing addiction, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people feel heard and find practical ways forward.

She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that is coping with anxiety, working through grief, managing parenting stress, or addressing substance use. Jennifer emphasizes clear communication and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her practice uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and the Gottman method to address communication problems, intimacy concerns, and conflict. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also appear in her work to help people shift unhelpful patterns and reframe difficult experiences.

Jennifer has experience helping people who interact with the family dependency legal system and adolescents in middle and high school. She brings practical tools and patience when navigating complex family dynamics and individual transitions. Her goal is to support clients in making sustainable changes that fit their lives.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to identify small, realistic steps. Jennifer offers a calm, down-to-earth style and focuses on collaborative problem solving to help people move toward more stable, satisfying relationships and daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for clients to tell their story and uses their priorities to guide sessions, which helps with grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. It provides tools for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and for changing patterns that keep people stuck.

The Gottman method concentrates on communication and conflict patterns in relationships. It offers concrete skills for improving connection, handling disagreements, and addressing intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then use one or more approaches that fit the client's needs in a collaborative way.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or between appointments. It can also make shorter, focused sessions possible when a full hour is not needed.
