About Jennifer
Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) who centers her practice on building a trusting connection first. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps to address stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and other concerns. Jennifer keeps language simple and direct to help people who are worried or overwhelmed get started without extra jargon.
Jennifer draws on several well-known approaches and adapts them to each person’s situation. She often uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
Background and approach
She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel intense. Her background includes graduate study at The Ohio State University and undergraduate work at West Virginia University. She holds the LISW-CP credential and has worked in social work roles for nine years across a range of settings, including hospice and family-focused services.
That variety informs how she balances practical coping and emotional support. Sessions can be over video, phone, live chat, or messaging depending on what fits a person's life. Jennifer often schedules evening and weekend times and checks messages during weekdays.
She aims to be honest and direct while remaining attentive and compassionate. People reach out to address caregiving stress, workplace problems, parenting strain, relationship issues, sleeping or concentration concerns, and life changes. Jennifer helps people talk through grief, trauma, anger, self-esteem, and career questions in a step-by-step way.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely and reflects concerns back so people feel heard and in control of goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to stress, anxiety, or anger. Work in sessions is practical and often includes short exercises or steps to try between meetings to change thoughts and behaviors that cause problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and pick methods that match current needs. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone calls can require less bandwidth and feel simpler for a quick check-in. Messaging and live chat allow for brief updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
