About Jennifer

Jennifer Clegg is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 16 years of clinical experience supporting people through mood disorders, addiction challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem, and brings experience addressing relationship and family issues as well as career stress and smoking or vaping cessation. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, person-centered stance.

Jennifer adapts treatment to each individual's needs using methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients build coping skills, manage mood symptoms, and reduce harmful behaviors. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive dialogue and collaborates with clients to create treatment plans that reflect personal goals and values.

Jennifer frames therapy as a partnership and encourages taking the first step toward change as an act of courage. She offers support aimed at increasing everyday functioning and emotional resilience while tailoring interventions to the unique circumstances each client brings.

Practical approaches for online care and skill building

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as part of online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety, and it often involves concrete skill practice and short homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance, which can help with emotion regulation, rumination, and stress related to chronic illness or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they will consider symptoms, past experiences, and personal preferences to shape a tailored plan that may combine techniques from different approaches.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to attend therapy from home or other convenient locations and to choose the communication style that best matches one’s schedule and comfort level, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, structured treatment.
