About Jennifer

LCSW in Florida with four years of clinical experience, Jennifer Gardner helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related challenges. She works with adults and has past experience in settings that included children and families over a longer career span.

Jennifer practices in a person-centered way. She lets clients lead sessions so they can discover their own solutions. Conversations focus on feelings, patterns, and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Florida and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida International University. She earned her Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in Florida in 2019 and has four years of practice under that license.

In sessions she listens without interrupting, offers guidance when helpful, and encourages practical steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to create space for honest conversation about fears, struggles, and emotions people might not share elsewhere.

People who choose her often want straightforward talk about current stresses and workable ways to cope. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to identify patterns, test changes, and build everyday skills for managing mood and relationships.

How therapeutic methods shape online sessions

Jennifer describes her work as person centered, which means sessions focus on the client’s concerns and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens, reflects, and asks questions that help the client name goals and try new ways of responding. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and relationship worries where personal insight and self-directed change are central.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and mood conditions. These techniques involve practicing skills in session and then applying them between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve coping. That practical focus can help with stress, grief, anger, and the emotional ups and downs linked to bipolar conditions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which techniques fit a person’s goals, symptoms, learning style, and daily life. Together they test approaches, adjust plans, and track what helps most over time.

Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full office visit isn’t possible. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy on a given day, whether that means more conversational work or focused skill practice.
