About Jennifer
Jennifer Grau-Keyser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship issues, addictions, ADHD, grief, and related concerns. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep disruption, parenting strain, and intimacy issues alongside more complex concerns such as bipolar symptoms and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes extensive work with trauma from domestic violence, childhood abuse, sexual violence, combat-related events, and natural disasters. She notes how unresolved trauma can show up as chronic stress, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and substance problems. That perspective shapes how she approaches treatment.
Jennifer’s style is client-driven and strengths-based. She emphasizes building trust and keeping a nonjudgmental stance. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than on labels or jargon.
She draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered approaches. These methods are used to teach coping skills, manage emotions, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Jennifer also brings experience working with LGBTQ people, parenting and behavioral challenges, and the impacts of chronic illness and caregiving stress. People seeking help for anger, relationship strain, or trauma can expect direct, practical work focused on skills and problem solving.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical exercises. CBT helps with anger linked to rumination, anxiety, and mood problems by teaching concrete behavior and thought-change strategies.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. These skills are useful when anger escalates or when strong emotions interfere with relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and choose which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce commute time. Therapists can assign practical exercises and skill practice between sessions so work continues outside scheduled meetings.
