About Jennifer
Jennifer Clegg is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. Her work also covers career strain, relationship and communication problems, compassion fatigue, and smoking or vaping cessation.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. That usually means noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new behaviors, and building practical coping steps. Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to keep sessions focused on what to try between meetings.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when they suit the problem. Those methods add concrete tools for managing intense emotions, grounding attention, and reducing impulsive reactions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change or dealing with addictions.
Sessions are organized around understandable goals and small experiments. People can expect clear takeaways and step-by-step strategies to try at home or work. The tone is practical and direct, centering on what will help someone function better day to day.
Jennifer works in Ohio and offers services in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and any scheduling details so expectations match the available options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that lead to distress and then practice different ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills, short behavioral experiments, and clear homework tasks that are easy to do between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment attention. DBT skills give step-by-step strategies for intense feelings, while mindfulness helps slow reactions and improve concentration.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients help prioritize which skills to focus on and which problems to address first.
