About Jennifer
Jennifer Eklund is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) with nine years of experience. She focuses on building a strong, trusting rapport first and then uses approaches that fit each person's needs. Jennifer is direct but caring, and she aims to make sessions feel understandable and practical for busy families and individuals.
She blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools when useful. That means conversations center on the person's goals while also practicing skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or grief. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit for working through stress and motivation challenges.
Jennifer has worked in a range of settings including family services and hospice care. That variety shaped her ability to talk about hard topics plainly and to consider many perspectives when planning care. She often helps people sort through family conflict, caregiver strain, workplace stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Homework or short skill practice is suggested when it will help, such as sleep strategies, grounding techniques, or small behavior changes. Jennifer typically offers evening and weekend times and checks messages during weekdays.
People who choose her can expect an honest, warm style and collaborative planning. She welcomes international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping people name their goals and priorities before deciding next steps. It is useful for people who need a supportive space to talk through sleep problems, family strain, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT can be used for insomnia, anxiety, low mood, and pacing daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stressors. It is often helpful when feelings feel overwhelming or when coping strategies need rebuilding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to try methods that match their goals and adjust as progress or new needs appear. That means starting with simple, agreed-upon steps and refining the plan over time rather than promising a single method up front.
Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video sessions can help the therapist and client connect visually for skill demonstrations and sleep habit reviews. Phone or brief text check-ins may be more convenient for short updates or when a quieter, lower-bandwidth option is needed. The biography indicates she has used video, phone, and text, but readers should confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online therapy supports regular follow-through on small practices like sleep routines and mindfulness exercises without requiring long travel times.
