Jennifer Metzger, LCSW

Jennifer Metzger is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who provides therapy through Better Help. She completed a BA in Psychology at North Carolina Central University and earned a Master of Social Work from NC State. For many years she has partnered with individuals in local hospitals and a range of outpatient settings to help them process emotions and move forward with healthier perspectives. Her overall message has always been, 'Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated!'

She emphasizes active listening to understand the stressors, thoughts, feelings, and values that shape each person's experience, reflecting resilient strengths and encouraging greater self-awareness. Jennifer believes that compassionate, experienced, and unbiased reflection can be valuable when people confront problems, and that lasting wellbeing is supported by becoming confident in one’s own sense of self, with or without outside affirmation. She employs a variety of strategies to help reframe life challenges and to navigate trauma and loss.

Jennifer is adept at solution-focused brief therapy, and her work is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) approaches. In essence, she works from the perspective that changing patterns of thinking can support changes in behavior. She is grateful to provide therapy and would be honored to assist clients as they pursue greater clarity and resilience.
