Jennifer Metzger, LCSW

Jennifer Metzger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who brings a compassionate, practical approach to therapy. She holds a BA in Psychology from North Carolina Central University and a Master of Social Work from North Carolina State University, and she has partnered with individuals in hospitals and outpatient settings to help them process emotions and build healthier ways of coping. Jennifer often shares the guiding message, "Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated," and she works to help clients move toward relationships and environments that reflect that value.

She prioritizes active listening to understand each person's stressors, thoughts, feelings, and values, reflecting back clients' resilient strengths while increasing self-awareness. Jennifer believes that people benefit from thoughtful reflection by someone who is compassionate, experienced, educated, and unbiased, and she encourages clients to develop confidence in knowing themselves with or without external affirmation. Her foundation is built on cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy approaches, and she is adept at solution-focused brief therapy, using a mix of strategies to reframe life challenges and navigate trauma and loss.

Jennifer provides therapy through Better Help and employs practical techniques to help clients change patterns of thinking and behavior. She expresses gratitude for the opportunity to support others and would be honored to assist those seeking to process feelings, heal from past hurt, and pursue clearer paths forward.
