About Jennifer

Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) who blends practical, evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, relationship challenges, grief, ADHD-related concerns, trauma, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes establishing a trusting rapport first, then tailors an integrated plan that may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered principles, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques to address the problem at hand.

With nine years of professional practice, Jennifer has worked in a range of settings including hospice and family-focused environments, gaining experience with caregiving stress, end-of-life counseling, workplace issues, parenting struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her style is described as direct yet empathic; she listens closely while helping clients weigh options and develop practical coping skills.

Jennifer encourages flexible communication methods and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different preferences and schedules. Based in South Carolina, Jennifer aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals and build strategies for improving sleep, managing anger, boosting self-esteem, and coping with career or life changes.

She welcomes international clients and works to create an approach that fits each person’s values and everyday needs.

CBT, Client-Centered Care, and DBT for Online Support

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and creating a collaborative, empathetic space for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be integrated when skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness are needed.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of the concern, then adapts strategies over time so the plan matches what is most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to continue working on skills and problem-solving in ways that suit daily life.
