Jennifer is great! She’s really understanding and she knows how to calmly engage in my usually angry demeanor and communication. She makes it very clear how much she believes in me, which can mean a lot in times I feel entirely hopeless and worthless.
More about Jennifer

- LCSW
Hello, my name is Jennifer McCann. My pronouns are She/Her/Hers. I am an LCSW mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience. I am fluent in American Sign Language and offer therapy services in ASL. I have experience working with D/deaf, Hard of Hearing, Hearing and Deaf Blind people. I also work with adults who have Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
My approach to therapy combines strengths based client-centered counseling with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness & other treatment modalities. I provide counseling services for individuals seeking help with managing day-to-day stressors, sudden life changes, crisis, trauma , intimacy issues, anxiety and communication issues.
I believe that people are truly doing the best they can and when they are supported change comes about from their own strengths.
The rapport between a therapist and client is key to the work of therapy. The best therapeutic work is done when warmth, laughter, tears, grief and anger are all welcomed as part of learning and growth. We will work together to set a plan for your treatment that is individualized to your needs as we build that rapport.
Thank you for looking at my profile and I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have nothing but good things to say about Jennifer. She is helping me through so much. I feel stronger and more confident navigating the hard situations knowing she is just a message away
Jennifer is great! She’s really understanding and she knows how to calmly engage in my usually angry demeanor and communication. She makes it very clear how much she believes in me, which can mean a lot in times I feel entirely hopeless and worthless.
I love working with Jennifer! She brings me insightful perspectives and challenges my thinking, by reframing my thoughts differently in a way that's helpful for me.
Very friendly and great listener, offers advice in the right moments, and challenges things about me when necessary.
Jenn has a calm, welcoming demeanor. She has a pleasant laugh, at the appropriate times, and listens with open ears when you’ve got things to open up about. And with video calls, it truly helps to see her smiling face and eyes, and her looks of concern when things are tough. I’m glad I matched with her my second attempt at a BetterHelp therapist!
Helpful, knowledgeable, reliable.
She is a wonderful therapist and person and has been tremendously helpful with my various therapy needs
Thanks Jenn, you are Awesome!
Listens and makes you think for yourself
She does great work and is easy to talk to.
I was skeptical about the idea of building a connection through video, but Jennifer has a warm personality that makes her easy to connect with. Within the first session I had confidence that she was going to be a great fit for my needs. Jennifer is very insightful and I've been amazed at her ability to develop thought-provoking perspectives that allow me to expand my own perception of the things we converse about. I genuinely feel respected and listened to which is super important to me. I leave each session with a sense of nourishment and always look forward to the next time!
Jennifer has been amazing at providing me ways to deal with my intrusive thoughts. I have things in my toolkit to help me cope when I am overwhelmed.
helpful. insightful professional, and kind
She’s been fantastic. I enjoy our banter and her ability to keep up when I just start talking incessantly
Love Jennifer. Super sweet. Asks the right questions to put things into perspective. Highly recommend.
She is amazing! She really helped me through a rough patch in my life. Her demeanor and gentleness was exactly what I needed.
Jennifer has been so helpful for me. She helps me find techniques that work for me. It has been really eye-opening.
She’s amazing. I’m very pleased and wish that I had switched to her sooner!
