About Jennifer
Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina. She focuses on building a strong working relationship first, then uses practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, and workplace strain. Jennifer keeps sessions straightforward and approachable so parents and caregivers can follow along easily.
She brings nine years of experience as a social worker and has worked across settings that include hospice and family-focused services.
Background and approach
That background informs how she talks about grief, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns with clear, calm language. She also draws on work with people facing trauma, depression, anger, and self-esteem struggles. In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and dialectical behavior tools for emotion and distress management.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when someone needs help staying focused on goals or managing overwhelming feelings. Jennifer adapts her approach to the issue at hand rather than using one fixed method. Jennifer prefers video calls for a fuller connection, but she also offers phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs.
Many clients find evening or weekend appointments useful, and she checks messages at least once during weekdays. She aims to be direct, attentive, and practical in each session. Her goal is to help people find small, workable changes that ease daily life.
The focus is on clear steps, steady support, and helping people regain a sense of control during stressful times.
How Jennifer’s methods work online
Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and build trust. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their goals rather than prescribing solutions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood changes because it breaks problems into practical steps people can practice between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed. These tools help people manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and practice calmer responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with the client about their needs, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She aims to match techniques to what the person prefers and what is working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps recreate face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and texting are options for brief updates, quick coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These choices make therapy more flexible around busy schedules, caregiving duties, and work commitments.
