About Jennifer

Jennifer McCann is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also supports folks facing grief, parenting strain, addiction, mood challenges, and identity-related questions. Jennifer works in English and American Sign Language and practices from Maine with 22 years of experience.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She leans on the client’s strengths and treats emotional work as practical problem-solving. Sessions mix listening, gentle challenge, and tools you can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Humor, tears, and honest feeling are all part of the process. Jennifer uses approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused methods. She helps people set clear short-term goals while also addressing deeper patterns that keep them stuck.

The focus is on what will make daily life easier and more manageable. She has experience working with Deaf and hard of hearing people and with adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also has experience supporting people navigating gender questions, kink and alternative sex culture, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

Those interests shape the way she listens and plans treatment. Her practice emphasizes collaboration. Together with each person she creates a plan that fits their needs and pace.

Practical tools, clear goals, and steady support are prioritized so people can try small changes and see what helps.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online work that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to you. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you build on your own strengths to make changes that feel realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences, and together you will choose methods that fit. That collaborative planning lets you try approaches while keeping the focus on what actually helps day to day.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you see facial cues and use ASL when needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quick tools between sessions, or regular touchpoints when schedules are tight. These options provide flexibility so therapy can match how you live and what you need.
