About Jennifer
Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of experience supporting people through addictions, family conflict, trauma, and life changes. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and codependency. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support for people who want clearer boundaries and healthier connections.
Bassett speaks plainly in sessions and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and helps clients build on what already works. Conversations focus on small, doable changes that fit into everyday life rather than on medical labels.
In her practice she uses approaches that match the person and the problem. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift patterns that cause distress, and narrative ideas to rethink troubling stories people tell themselves. Gottman-informed tools and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when relationship work or behavior change is needed.
Jennifer’s background includes military service and a decade supporting families, adolescents, and adults through parenting challenges and dependency-related legal systems. Her experience includes work with young adults and veterans, and she aims to make therapy practical and hopeful. Sessions focus on realistic goals like improving communication or reducing harmful patterns.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented conversations may find her style helpful. She supports steps toward a more balanced life and works with each client to set an achievable path forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. The therapist creates space to hear each person’s story and supports them in choosing what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns that cause distress. The Gottman Method provides practical communication tools and exercises that help people improve interactions and reduce conflict.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use less bandwidth by choosing audio-only appointments if that suits them better. Ask about specific session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your daily routine.
