Jennifer Grau-Keyser , LCSW

Jennifer Grau-Keyser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 8 years of clinical experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. She works with people facing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ concerns, adjustment difficulties, and behavioral or parenting challenges, bringing a measured and compassionate approach to complex emotional needs.

She has focused training in responding to a wide range of traumatic experiences, including domestic violence - verbal, physical, and sexual abuse - childhood abuse and neglect, sexual violence, combat-related trauma, and natural disasters. Unresolved trauma can contribute to ongoing stress, anger, depression, anxiety, substance use, health disparities, low self-esteem, and strained relationships, and Jennifer aims to address those interconnected effects in therapy.

Her counseling style is client-driven and strengths-based, emphasizing trust and a nonjudgmental, unbiased stance in the therapeutic relationship. She uses a blend of evidence-informed modalities tailored to each person, including Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT), Rational Emotive Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and psychoeducation. As an LCSW, she holds a professional credential to provide clinical social work and psychotherapy services in Florida.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns and focuses on practical skills and problem solving.

She integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation, intense moods, or interpersonal conflict are central concerns - DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships.

Her client-centered work prioritizes the person’s values and lived experience, creating a strengths-based space where the individual’s goals guide the pace and focus of therapy. This approach supports trust-building and collaborative goal setting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as therapy progresses in consultation with the client and other licensed professionals when appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access support from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in skill practice, check-ins, and regular sessions in formats that align with their day-to-day life.
