Getting to know Jenna McDonald

Hello and welcome! I'm Jenna McDonald, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Western New York, working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Medaille University. I work with teens, adults, and couples, specializing in anxiety, stress, work and school stressors, relationship concerns, substance use, and trauma. I use Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress, feel more in control, and move toward greater mental wellness. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as both help us build a shared understanding of their reality and chart a path forward together. Person-Centered Therapy is also used often because I find it helps clients organize their goals so we can work through what is most important and meaningful to them. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for clients dealing with life transitions—such as work/life balance, job changes, school or social pressures—relationship issues, anxiety, and depression. I work to help clients navigate these transitions and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style centers on understanding what my clients are experiencing and building rapport. I provide supportive problem-solving and collaboration while being a listening ear. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. I also serve as a realistic reminder of what is healthy and what is not, so we can work together toward optimal mental wellness.
