About Jennifer
Jennifer Dorado is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, goal-focused work. Sessions often look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and test practical steps that can change daily reactions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support problem-solving and symptom reduction.
Jennifer begins by listening to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She assesses immediate concerns and identifies small, doable actions to try between sessions. Progress is checked regularly so plans can be adjusted when something isn’t working.
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. Those degrees inform a clinical approach that balances practical skills with attention to values and meaning.
In practice she helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck - for example avoidance, fixed thinking, or people-pleasing - and replace them with clearer choices. The work mixes short-term skill building and ongoing reflection to help people move through difficult periods and regain more energy for daily life.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - so a person can try specific changes and see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while choosing steps that matter to them. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so the person’s own goals guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s situation and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also lets people try strategies at home or between obligations and bring that experience back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
