About Jennifer

Jennifer Covington is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns such as trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She works with clients in North Carolina to create practical strategies for coping with life’s demands and to reduce barriers that interfere with daily functioning and wellbeing. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration and adapts her work to each person’s priorities and goals.

Drawing on 13 years of clinical experience, she blends evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness with acceptance and commitment principles and client-centered techniques. Her sessions typically focus on building skills for emotional regulation, improving communication, addressing addictive patterns, and increasing resilience during transitions.

Jennifer tailors treatment plans and combines motivational strategies to support sustained change. She invites prospective clients to take a first step by exploring a partnership aimed at steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Online Approaches that Support Practical Change

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behaviors in ways that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life transitions.

She also draws on mindfulness-based techniques and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and clarify personal values. Mindfulness work supports emotional regulation and stress reduction, while ACT emphasizes committed action toward meaningful life goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to identify which methods fit the person’s needs, preferences, and goals, and to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for clients in North Carolina. These options make it possible to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities while maintaining consistent momentum in therapy.
