Jennifer Chebro , LCSW

Jennifer Chebro is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to supporting people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. She centers clients' experiences and helps them build practical coping skills, improve self-esteem, and develop assertive communication to meet their needs in healthier ways.

Many clients come to her feeling blamed or misunderstood because of who they are or what they have endured. Jennifer emphasizes that those challenges are not the client’s fault and focuses on collaborative goal-setting so each person can define what change looks like for them. She partners with clients through doubt and hesitation, staying present as they learn to respond to life’s stressors more skillfully rather than reactively.

Her experience includes working with adults and children from diverse backgrounds, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, domestic violence, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She offers telehealth counseling and is a certified telehealth counselor, which allows clients to work toward their goals from home if that is preferred.

Jennifer earned her degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and completed a method concentration in mental health and substance abuse. As an LCSW – a licensed clinical social worker – she draws on clinical training and real-world experience to guide clients on a path toward greater well-being and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer Chebro integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support change in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take meaningful actions even when emotions are uncomfortable; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps clients understand how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses, which is useful for relationship pain, intimacy issues, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people build self-understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits the individual’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and sustain continuity of care, while still allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured therapeutic support and practical tools tailored to each client.
