Jennifer McCann , LCSW

Jennifer McCann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience who works from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective. Her pronouns are she/her/hers and she is fluent in American Sign Language, offering services for people who are D/deaf, hard of hearing, Deaf Blind, as well as adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

She integrates client-centered counseling with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and additional modalities to create practical, individualized plans. Her work focuses on everyday stress management, coping with sudden life changes and crisis, trauma and abuse recovery, intimacy and relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, communication challenges, and related concerns such as grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Jennifer approaches therapy from a belief that most people are doing the best they can and that change grows from a person’s own strengths when they are supported. She places high value on the therapeutic connection and cultivates an environment where warmth, laughter, tears, grief, and anger are all acknowledged as part of growth. Treatment planning is collaborative and tailored to each client’s needs, with attention to building rapport and practical strategies for moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own resources and perspectives; the therapist listens deeply, validates experience, and helps the client set goals that feel meaningful. This approach supports people navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and identity-related stressors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical, structured techniques. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting those dealing with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, or ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time to ensure the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - increase flexibility and make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through remote formats, offering continuity of care while accommodating scheduling, mobility, and communication needs.
