Jennifer Grau-Keyser , LCSW

Jennifer Grau-Keyser, LCSW, works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a wide range of life changes. She supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, addiction, and issues related to LGBT identity. Jennifer also helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and priorities. Jennifer aims to build trust through a nonjudgmental, respectful style that lets people set the pace of work.

Jennifer uses a mix of therapeutic methods depending on the concern. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive techniques, dialectical behavior methods, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered practices. These tools are used to teach coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and clarify personal values.

Her background includes eight years of clinical social work practice in Florida. Jennifer has experience with trauma from domestic violence, childhood abuse, sexual violence, and major life events, and she understands how unhealed trauma can affect mood, behavior, and relationships.

Sessions typically focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. That may include skill practice, behavior experiments, or communication strategies. Jennifer aims to help people make small changes that add up to more stable daily functioning and healthier relationships.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to change mood and function; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs rather than assuming a single path.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or busy home schedules.
