About Jennifer
Jennifer Clegg is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 16 years of clinical experience working in behavioral health. She helps people who are coping with depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and the low self-esteem that often follows these challenges. Jennifer also supports those dealing with grief, career strain, relationship and communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that keep people stuck. She brings dialectical behavior skills to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are woven in to support clearer thinking and stronger motivation.
In sessions she talks through concrete steps and small experiments to test what works in daily life. Conversations often focus on building skills for managing mood, reducing risky behaviors like smoking or gambling, and improving how someone talks with others. The work is focused on what can change now rather than abstract theory.
Jennifer draws on years of experience in clinical settings to shape each plan. She adapts tools from her listed approaches to address hospice and end-of-life concerns, compassion fatigue, isolation, and ADHD-related struggles. Meetings are conducted in English and follow Ohio practice standards.
People who choose her typically want clear strategies and practical skills. To start, the usual next step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors like smoking or gambling. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal effectiveness when emotions run high.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. That means checking in about what techniques feel useful and adjusting the plan together as progress or new challenges appear.
The practical benefits of meeting online are emphasized in terms of fitting therapy into a real schedule. Confirm the session formats before you book to know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, try short skill-building practices between work or caregiving duties, and use mindfulness or behavioral experiments in the contexts where they normally arise.
