About Jennifer

Jennifer Dorado is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University, and draws on that training to offer practical, strength-based care. Her style is compassionate, client-centered, and solution-focused, emphasizing collaboration and paced progress.

Jennifer helps clients pinpoint sources of distress, explore personal strengths, and develop tools to manage mood, improve communication, address codependency or attachment concerns, and cope with life changes. She integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment strategies, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Jennifer frames therapy as a process of courageous action toward emotional healing and greater well-being. Whether someone is managing compassion fatigue, anger, family problems, or searching for life purpose, she works alongside clients to set achievable goals and build skills that support ongoing recovery and resilience.

Integrating evidence-based methods into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify values and take committed action toward what matters, which can be especially useful for people struggling with avoidance, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and stress, offering concrete strategies for daily coping. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so interventions feel personally relevant and manageable. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in choosing what works best for them.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into a busy life. These formats allow continuity of care when attending in-person meetings is difficult and support ongoing practice of skills between sessions, helping clients apply therapeutic tools in everyday situations.
