Jennifer Eklund, LISW-CP

Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) with a master’s degree from The Ohio State University and a bachelor’s degree from West Virginia University. With nine years of professional experience, she brings practical skills from work across family services, adolescent care, and hospice settings to each therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes building a strong rapport as the foundation for effective work and adapts her approach to meet the needs of each person she sees.

Jennifer draws on a range of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based techniques, and Motivational Interviewing, and she can integrate elements from other modalities when appropriate. Her style is straightforward and attentive; she is known for being honest and direct while remaining caring, sensitive, and energetic. She evaluates issues from multiple perspectives to help clients weigh options and move forward.

Jennifer typically prefers using video sessions to foster connection, though she can also communicate by phone or text when that better suits a person’s comfort. She is experienced supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes, including hospice and end-of-life matters. Her approach aims to meet clients where they are and collaborate on practical steps toward their goals.
