About Jennifer
Jennifer Clegg is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing addictions, depression, bipolar mood swings, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. She also supports concerns like compassion fatigue, career stress, ADHD, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Her approach is practical and direct. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies and communication tips.
How Jennifer works
Jennifer adapts techniques to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. Jennifer uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes like cutting back on substances or quitting smoking. People meet her by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. After matching, sessions are scheduled according to availability and can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability. Jennifer emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental tone. She partners with clients to build practical plans for daily life.
Her goal is to help people take manageable steps toward a more stable and satisfying life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts that lead to unhelpful behaviors. CBT is hands-on and focuses on small behavior changes and simple exercises that people practice between sessions. DBT provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for mood instability and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then together they decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process can be adjusted over time based on how each person responds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, text messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching, and live chat can be used for shorter focused conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
