About Jennifer
Jennifer Dorado is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and related concerns.
She uses plain, practical conversation to help people sort out what feels overwhelming. Jennifer listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people spot their strengths. She works at a person’s pace and focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. Over nearly two decades she has worked with people facing substance use, co-dependency, family conflict, and life changes. That experience shapes how she frames practical next steps in session.
Jennifer draws on several approaches to guide the work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters and take committed action. Motivational Interviewing supports change when motivation feels stuck.
Sessions focus on understanding the source of problems, building everyday skills, and practicing small changes that add up. People often leave with concrete tools for communication, emotion management, and handling setbacks. Jennifer asks for specific goals and checks progress as work continues.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is often useful for anger that comes from frustration, resentment, or ongoing life strain.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses, which can reduce reactive responses over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is tracked.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time on workdays. Ask about which session types are supported when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan what fits your life.
