Hi,
Thank you for reaching out for help. I know that can be the most difficult step in the counseling process.
My name is Jennifer Baird. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I absolutely love the work that I do to help others. I have been in the social work field for 10 years. I started working with children and families, then had a career shift and moved to working with adults with mental illness and substance abuse issues. I have been providing counseling for the last 5 years. I am very experienced working with people who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia and those with substance use disorders. I also have extensive experience working with people who have co-occurring disorders (i.e. a mental illness and substance use disorder.) I have also worked with the families and loved ones of people who have experienced these things.
My counseling philosophy is that the client is the expert on their own lives (even when it does't feel that way.) It is not my job to give you advice, but to help you on this journey of life. Life, as we know, is extremely hard. We are balancing different roles such as boss, colleague, employee, husband, wife, daughter, son, etc., and dealing with the pressures of living, loving, working, and society in general. All of this can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and much more. My role is to help you navigate those stressors and learn to make the best of what life has handed you. I openly admit that I do not have a magic wand and cannot make your life better with the wave of a hand, but I do care about each person that I encounter and want to see you succeed. I strive to be real, honest, and authentic with my clients. You are experiencing something that you need help with, and I would like to be that person to help.
Whatever you may be facing, I am here to listen and talk. The anonymity of being behind a computer may make it easier for you to open up. If not, I am available to do live video, phone, and chat sessions...whatever makes you most comfortable. I check my messages multiple times a day with Wednesdays being my only day with limited availability. If you are looking for a time that is not on my schedule, please reach out to check with me about the possibility of it being available. I am very flexible with my schedule and want to support my clients as best that I can.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is a great therapist.
Jennifer, Has been extremely helpful in my personal growth and I would definitely recommend her she is honest and practical with basis from biblical truth.
I had 3 of the hardest years of my life talking with Jennifer each week. She was a safe space and helped me process through some very challenging times. I will greatly miss our regular conversations but am excited for what is next for her and am eager to start this new chapter.
Jennifer has been patient with me as I work to articulate my struggles. She has given me tools that are applicable and relevant, making me want to use them. She is an excellent listener and I always leave my sessions feeling heard and validated.
Very knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel as if I am in a welcoming environment with Jennifer! ❤️
Jennifer is an excellent listener who seeks to get to the root of problems, reframe my thinking, and help me see my issues in a new light. I've really benefitted from therapy so far.
Jennifer has been with me for over a year and I know that I can speak to her about anything and I will receive her support and sound advice.

Responsive, nice, helpful
Jennifer was nothing short of amazing, she made me feel comfortable to discuss things. She made me feel completely normal for having issues and feeling overwhelmed with life in general. I’m thankful she was matched with me.
