Jennifer Bassett, LMFT

Jennifer Bassett, LMFT, supports people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and the stress of career changes. She also helps with trauma, parenting challenges, grief, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Jennifer is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of practice and a background as a military veteran. She writes plainly and listens first to understand each person's story.

She approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on strengths. Conversations are direct and focused on what matters most to the client, whether that is reducing anxiety, working through family of origin problems, or managing substance use concerns.

Jennifer draws from methods that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationships are part of the work. She uses these tools to help people change unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals, and communicate more clearly.

Her background includes supporting military-connected people and working with adolescents in middle and high school settings. That experience informs how she listens for practical obstacles and life transitions. She aims to help clients find clearer direction, better coping skills, and a greater sense of agency.

To get started, she asks people to identify immediate concerns and then maps a clear plan of action. Sessions can address short-term goals like stopping harmful habits or longer-term aims such as rebuilding trust and improving relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jennifer often blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on their goals and strengths. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers clear exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, mood symptoms, and unhelpful habits.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel unsure or stuck. This approach helps uncover personal reasons for change and builds small steps toward goals like reducing substance use or improving daily routines. Together these approaches aim to be collaborative and goal-directed rather than prescriptive.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are planned together and adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and may vary. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, support shorter check-ins, or let people use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical benefits that help therapy fit into everyday life rather than promising any specific outcome.
