    About Jennifer

    Jennifer Clegg is a licensed independent social worker with 16 years of practice in Ohio. She helps people facing addiction, mood disorders, depression, bipolar symptoms, low self-esteem, grief, and career or relationship stress. Her work also covers compassion fatigue, ADHD, smoking and vaping cessation, and support through life changes.

    Her approach is practical and respectful. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help with ambivalence and change, and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when useful.

    Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps. Jennifer helps clients build coping skills and manage difficult emotions. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation by practicing strategies during sessions that can be used day to day.

    Her background includes long-term experience helping people with addictions and chronic mood conditions. Jennifer emphasizes sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts the pace to individual needs. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

    For people facing end-of-life issues, hospice-related concerns, or workplace compassion fatigue, she offers steady support and practical guidance. Jennifer encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. If you want to explore next steps, she can help shape a plan that fits your life.

  2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

    Jennifer often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore readiness for change, resolve mixed feelings, and find personal reasons to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that improve mood and daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening emotional regulation.

    Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques that suit you, and adjust the plan over time. Together you decide which methods feel most useful and practical for your life.

    Confirm the available session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people practice skills between sessions in their normal routines, so progress carries over into everyday life.
