About Jennifer
Jennifer McFarlin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, eating concerns, grief, and parenting challenges.

Jennifer combines practical skills with a calm, direct approach so people can feel understood and take small steps forward.
She has 12 years of experience in counseling since completing graduate school.
How Jennifer works
Early in her career she did clinical work in a mental health hospital and later provided individual and group therapy at an eating disorder treatment center. That work included treating co-occurring depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms and involved family-focused interventions. Since 2020 she has operated a independent practice focused on relationship concerns and attachment styles.
Jennifer uses an attachment lens to look at the wounds that shape how people connect. She aims to help clients move toward more supported ways of relating and reduce recurring conflicts. Her approach blends several methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.
She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and shift the beliefs that keep problems repeating. Sessions are offered in English and take place online. Jennifer guides each person through concrete tools and deeper insight, with an emphasis on practical changes that fit daily life.

Online support options
How attachment and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people identify how early connections shape trust, closeness, and reactions to conflict, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and eating-related struggles.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and interaction patterns in relationships. It helps partners and individuals name feelings, express needs, and change recurring cycles that create distance or conflict.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes care more flexible. Video enables face-to-face interaction for emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or staying connected between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
