Jennifer Eklund

Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) who centers therapy on building a strong connection with each person. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, listening first and choosing approaches that fit the concern. Jennifer is based in South Carolina and works in English. She accepts international clients and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is direct and warm. She uses client-centered methods to hear what matters most to the client. Then she adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts, behaviors, and stress. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are other options she draws on when they fit the situation.

Jennifer has worked in a variety of settings including hospice and family-focused environments. That background informs how she supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also helps people with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, sleep struggles, anger, self-esteem, and career or workplace difficulties.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and small, manageable changes. Jennifer explains ideas plainly and helps people try techniques between meetings. She is known for being honest, attentive, and energetic while remaining caring and sensitive.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Jennifer typically offers more evening and weekend availability and checks messages on weekdays.

How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy places the client’s experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, mirrors concerns, and helps set goals the client finds meaningful. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to sort through life changes and decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace or school stress.

Dialectical behavior therapy includes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills often help with anger, relationship difficulties, and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jennifer will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and daily life. She will try concrete techniques, check in on how they feel, and adjust the plan together as progress is made.

Clients should confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The therapist’s biography mentions video, phone, and text options, and these can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video can help build rapport through face-to-face conversation, phone can be a shorter check-in, and text can work for brief updates or reminders. Online therapy can reduce travel time and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments.
