    About Jennifer

    Jennifer Dorado is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience supporting people through hard times. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes. Her tone is steady and practical, and she helps people take steps toward feeling better.

    Jennifer uses a client-centered style. She listens first, then helps people name their goals. She focuses on each person's strengths and builds from there. Sessions move at a pace the person can manage.

    Her approach blends methods that encourage willingness to change and clearer thinking. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

    Jennifer also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and act according to what matters most to them. She aims for solutions that fit real life, not just ideas on a page.

    Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. She holds a Florida LMHC license. She works with people across a wide range of concerns, and she guides each person toward practical changes that build hope and resilience.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Jennifer commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and move toward goals. This approach is conversational and works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another thread in her work; it helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then take actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can reduce symptoms over time.

    Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in with the person about what matters most, what has or hasn’t worked before, and then tailor the methods to fit goals and preferences. Adjustment happens as the work unfolds so the plan stays relevant and useful.

    Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving, and can reduce travel time. Some methods translate well to short check-ins or structured homework between meetings, which helps keep progress steady in everyday life.
