About Jennifer
Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Jennifer emphasizes building a solid therapeutic rapport first. She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand what matters most. From there she draws on different methods to match the situation instead of applying a single technique every time.
Her clinical approach often combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. She describes this as selecting tools based on the issue at hand, then working through concrete steps together.
Jennifer’s background includes a master’s degree from The Ohio State University and an undergraduate degree from West Virginia University. Her work history spans family services, adolescent settings, and hospice care, including support for caregivers and end-of-life counseling. She brings practical experience with workplace stress and family problems.
She aims to be direct and clear in sessions while listening closely. Many clients meet by video so the therapist and client can connect visually, though other communication options are noted as possible. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building rapport first. It helps people describe what matters to them and decide what to work on, which is useful when anger shows up in close relationships or caregiving roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice it breaks problems down into manageable steps and teaches specific strategies for changing patterns that fuel anger and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when strong feelings escalate or when someone wants steadier responses in tense situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she may combine elements from different approaches depending on what helps most.
Her biography notes video, phone, and text as interaction options, and she prefers video to help build rapport. Because session formats were not exhaustively listed here, confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can fit into busy schedules, allow evening or weekend meetings, and make it easier to check in from work breaks or from home without travel.
