About Jennifer

Jennifer Chebro is an LCSW with twenty years of clinical experience who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy as a central tool to help people manage symptoms like depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills for coping, assertive communication, and building self-esteem, working collaboratively to identify client goals and reduce reactive patterns to stress. Her practice supports individuals facing a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and identity-related stress.

Jennifer describes therapy as a stepwise process: first clarifying what the client wants to change, then selecting strategies to reach those goals while providing steady support through moments of doubt.

Trained at the University of Connecticut School of Social Work with a method concentration in mental health and substance abuse, she has experience with clients from diverse backgrounds and various life circumstances. Licensed in Florida as an LCSW (FL LCSW SW13810), she offers telehealth options and multiple session formats to accommodate different needs and lifestyles.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or stress-related difficulties. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while pursuing meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors a blend of techniques so the plan fits the client's life and changes as progress is made. Clients are invited to participate actively in choosing which methods feel most useful.

Online therapy with this clinician is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when circumstances change, and access consistent support without travel.
