Jennifer Bassett, LMFT

Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on addictions and related life stresses. She draws on a decade of hands-on work helping people manage substance concerns, relationship strain, and family conflict. Her style is direct and respectful, aimed at practical change rather than long explanations. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and helps them build on strengths already present.

Jennifer is a military veteran and brings that background to conversations about transition, identity, and vocation. She has worked with people facing career challenges, legal family-dependency situations, and adolescents in middle and high school. That experience informs how she talks about structure, boundaries, and next steps in life.

In sessions she uses approaches grounded in everyday language. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy help identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and need help finding internal reasons to change. Client-Centered and Narrative ideas guide how she listens and helps clients rewrite their stories.

Jennifer aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She helps set clear, achievable goals and checks progress together. Her background working with families, veterans, and young people shapes how she balances practical problem solving with empathy.

When someone is ready to start, she supports them through the steps needed to schedule and plan sessions. The initial work often focuses on immediate coping, then shifts toward longer-term goals like improved relationships, healthier habits, or clearer life direction.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they do

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that feed addictive behavior. Motivational Interviewing is another common tool she uses; it focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and can be useful when someone feels stuck about substance use or lifestyle shifts.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which emphasize listening and treating the person as the expert of their story. Figuring out which mix of approaches will help most is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and manageable.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve practical homework between meetings and to maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals usually work with clients to choose the session length and pacing that best fits daily life.
