About Jennifer
Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 16 years of experience. Jennifer Clegg helps people facing addictions, mood disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and struggles with self-esteem and relationships. She also supports adults dealing with grief, career strain, compassion fatigue, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Jennifer uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods. She often works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support change and reduce impulsive behaviors.
Sessions center on concrete goals. Jennifer and the person she sees set priorities, try interventions in-session, and track what is working. She focuses on skills people can use between meetings, such as mood regulation strategies, communication practice, and steps toward reducing substance use or gambling behavior.
Her background includes many years working with people who face chronic mental health challenges and addictions. That experience shaped a problem-solving approach that values small, measurable changes. She adapts techniques to the situation rather than following one fixed method.
People who want a clear plan and practical tools will find a predictable structure in sessions. To start, she asks about current struggles, recent coping attempts, and what a best-case short-term change would look like. From there she builds a stepwise plan and checks progress regularly.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills; it can help with impulsive behaviors and challenges in managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She reviews what has helped before, tries techniques in-session, and adjusts based on what the person reports between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, review progress, and set practical next steps without changing the therapeutic methods used in person.
