*Hello and Welcome ! I'm Jenna McDonald . I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Western New York and also working with clients statewide (NY) via Telehealth. I work with teens, adults, and couples; specializing in anxiety, stress, life transitions ( ex : work/school stressors), relationship concerns, substance use and trauma. I use different types of therapies to help my clients make progress and start feeling more in control and on their way to a more mentally stable wellness.* My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Person Centered Therapy as I find it helps the client to organize his/her goals so that we can work through those together, based on what is most important and meaningful to that client. Solution Focused therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), are other modalities that can help myself and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to create a path forward. I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for clients who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions ( work/life balance, job change/ school/social pressures), relationship issues, anxiety, and depression . I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. I have had success working with shy clients, young adults , or just those new to therapy who are apprehensive to open up at first , given my down to earth personality. My communication style is working with my clients to understand what it is they are experiencing and build that rapport. My hope is to provide supportive problem solving and collaboration, while I can also be that listening ear. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. I will also be that realistic reminder to my clients of what is healthy/what is not, so that we can work towards optimal mental wellness. I will challenge my clients and not be a person to enable negative behavior. My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we’ll work together to set goals and track your progress. Sometimes we just want someone to listen to us and have the ability to vent our emotions and frustrations. I can be that person who is neutral, which can give me a great outside view and ability to provide assistance when needed. What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about your past experience with coming to counseling, what worked well with past counseling/ what didn’t, what you are coming to counseling for currently and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.

Hello, I’m Felipe Sepúlveda, LCSW, CFSW. I provide supportive, practical, and goal-focused therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and financial stress. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and better equipped to handle the pressures of everyday life. I specialize in working with men who feel overwhelmed by responsibility, work demands, family roles, or internal pressure to “hold everything together.” Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning on the outside but quietly dealing with stress, burnout, or emotional exhaustion. Together, we focus on building emotional resilience, improving communication, and developing tools that create real, lasting change. I also work with women and adults from all backgrounds who are seeking a structured, supportive space to better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with clarity and intention. As a Certified Financial Social Worker (CFSW), I integrate an understanding of the emotional and psychological impact of money stress, financial decision-making, and life transitions connected to career and stability. Our work may include addressing financial anxiety, avoidance patterns, or the emotional side of money — always focused on wellbeing rather than financial advising. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. I aim to create a space where you can speak openly without judgment while developing strategies you can apply in real life. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make meaningful changes, I’m here to support you.
