About Jennifer

Jennifer Bassett is a Florida-licensed LMFT with ten years of counseling experience. She is a military veteran who has spent a decade helping people manage stress, relationships, addiction, grief, and life transitions. Jennifer lists anger among the concerns she works with and offers practical, down-to-earth support for people struggling with temper, built-up resentment, or living around someone else’s anger.

She frames therapy around the client’s own story and strengths. Sessions focus on clear conversation, manageable skills, and planning small changes that reduce conflicts at home and work. Jennifer uses straightforward tools to help people notice triggers, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild better interactions.

Her background includes work with clients facing family conflict, parenting pressures, substance use challenges, and military-related transitions. She has experience guiding adolescents through school-age stress and families navigating dependency legal systems, always keeping the person’s goals in view.

In session she blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing. That mix helps people move from understanding their reactions to practicing calmer responses in real situations.

Jennifer encourages step-by-step progress. Early sessions typically focus on what matters most to the client now, then move toward specific strategies for communication, coping with frustration, and reducing impulsive reactions. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier behavior, not quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Jennifer commonly combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. Client-centered work means the therapist asks open questions and follows what matters to the client, helping them tell their story and name goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger cycling and introduce practical exercises to test new responses. Motivational interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or change feels risky, by exploring ambivalence and building reasons to try new strategies.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as sessions show what works in real life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit check-ins into a busy day, allow shorter focused sessions when needed, or remove travel time for appointments. The focus remains practical: learning skills to notice triggers, respond differently, and improve daily interactions.
