I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with nearly 30 years of experience working with Individuals and Families in a variety of settings including community mental health services, private practice and adoption.
I currently work primarily work with individuals ages 18 and up. I love helping clients with negotiating life transitions whether it be job/college, family/relationship or life stage related. Each of those transitions can come with stress and anxiety, self esteem, confidence and motivation challenges and sometimes feeling of grief, loss, or depression.
My approach is to meet each person where they are. Some people benefit most from structured, task oriented sessions and others simply need to talk through their feelings. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Reaching out to someone for help with these things is hard but it is the first step in helping find the balance that you want. I want to help support you in that journey. I look forward to working with you!
Additional areas of focus: Adoption and foster care, Blended family issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Fertility issues, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Women's issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer Doane. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jennifer has met with me a few times - she has listened carefully, read my goals, and responds with a tasteful sense of humor when we break down certain concepts . I feel heard and that makes this process easeful!

Jennifer has been fantastic and has helped me tremendously. She listens and also gives good advice. I couldn't ask for a better therapist.

Jennifer has been wonderful with getting me back on track. I’m just a few weeks I already am starting to feel like I have a new direction forward, and she has been committed to helping guide me to that new direction. She’s also an excellent listener and has been just what I needed in terms of help. Thank you Jennifer!
