Work with Jennifer McCann (LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

About Me

Hello, my name is Jennifer McCann. My pronouns are She/Her/Hers. I am an LCSW mental health counselor with over 20 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 teens and adults with Intellectual Disabilities. My approach to therapy combines strengths based client-centered counseling with additional modalities of motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral counseling. I provide psychotherapy and counseling services for individuals seeking help with managing day-to-day stressors, sudden life changes, crisis, and trauma.

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 cannot be overlooked - the best work is done when warmth, laughter, tears, grief and anger are all welcomed as part of learning and growth. As we work together to set a plan for your treatment that is individualized to your needs, we will build that rapport.
Thank you for looking at my profile and I look forward to working with you.

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!
