Jennifer Chebro , LCSW

Jennifer Chebro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. She emphasizes that struggles are not the client’s fault and approaches care with empathy and practical strategies designed to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Jennifer guides clients toward stronger self-esteem and healthier coping, teaching assertive communication skills that help individuals meet their needs more effectively.

She recognizes that asking for help can feel difficult and often scary, and she approaches each person with patience and respect as they consider change. Sessions begin by identifying what the client most wants to change and setting clear, achievable goals. In therapy she helps clients build skills to respond to life’s stressors rather than react to them, accompanying them through doubts and setbacks until they can use new tools with confidence.

Throughout her career she has worked with adults and children from diverse backgrounds, offering counseling for depression, anxiety, domestic violence survivors, trauma, and relationship concerns. Jennifer offers telehealth counseling and is a certified telehealth counselor, enabling therapeutic work to continue without the need to travel. She earned her social work degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work with a methods concentration in mental health and substance abuse, and brings clinical training and a client-centered approach to each therapeutic partnership.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer Chebro draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values to move toward meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early relational experiences to address issues like intimacy, abandonment, and communication problems, helping clients build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so the therapist supports the client’s own growth and self-directed change, which is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating grief or transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home. As a certified telehealth counselor, she adapts these formats to support meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
