Jennifer McCann, LCSW

Jennifer McCann is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and midlife transitions. She works with concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction, grief, ADHD, and burnout. Jennifer uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help clients find practical ways forward.

With 22 years of experience, she draws on client-centered counseling to focus on each person's strengths. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thoughts and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused tools are used to set small, reachable goals when people need quick momentum.

Jennifer has experience communicating in American Sign Language and supporting D/deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind people. She also has experience with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and with a range of complex life situations like chronic illness, caregiver stress, and first responder issues.

Her style is warm and direct. Sessions include listening, practical skill-building, and collaborative planning. Humor and honest emotion are welcome parts of the work when they help move things forward.

Clients set goals together with Jennifer and then try simple strategies between sessions. She helps people track what works, adapt plans when needed, and focus on strengths that support lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building rapport so clients feel understood and can use their own strengths. Online work lets that listening continue in a flexible way and keeps the focus on the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; used online, CBT often includes structured exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and help with anxiety and reactivity, and those techniques can be coached and practiced during remote sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what matters, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to emphasize and how fast to move.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into daily life. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and to keep consistent momentum between visits.
