About Jennifer
Jennifer Clegg is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She works with people who are coping with addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, low self-esteem, grief, and career or relationship stress. She also helps with issues like compassion fatigue, ADHD, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then tailors conversation and plans to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. She emphasizes sensitivity and steady support while you make changes.
Jennifer uses approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new skills. She also brings mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing into sessions to support change and emotional regulation. Techniques are matched to your concerns and goals rather than one fixed method.
She has 16 years of professional experience in clinical settings and community work. That time includes helping people manage addiction, chronic illness, gambling issues, and complex mood concerns. Her experience informs a calm, problem-focused approach to counseling.
If you want to try therapy, she asks about your priorities and creates a plan together. The emphasis is on clear steps, realistic goals, and steady progress. The first conversations focus on understanding your situation and deciding what to try next.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support mood regulation, useful for stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adapting the plan together as needs change.
