*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.

7 years of experience offering psychology treatment
Right of the bat, I would like to thank you for considering me as your therapist. While I am currently licensed in New York, my story doesn’t start there. I graduated with honors from Monmouth University, allowing me the opportunity to sit for the pre-licensure exam once I graduated. Unfortunately, I did not pass the exam on the first go and that broke me so much, I started looking out of state for work opportunities that allowed therapists to work BEFORE taking the exam. Six years later, I finally sat for the exam again and PASSED! Why am I sharing this? Simple, it’s so easy for us as therapists to get wrapped up in the image that we’re perfect and I want my clients or even my potential clients to see that I am VERY MUCH human, too! And we all go through failures, trials, and tribulations. With all of that being said, while the exam allowed me to get licensed, I was a resident working with clients, much like you. With over 7 years of professional work experience, I have had the pleasure of working with clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and grief & loss. I am an EMDR trained therapist, though I do NOT suggest 45 minute sessions for this, so if this is something you are interested in, we can discuss this in your sessions. I work with my clients to create an open, safe, and confidential environment where thoughts and emotions can be shared without fear of judgment. Additionally, I am a Certified Spiritual Coach. I have undergone my very own personal spiritual journey over the past two years that has taught me there is absolutely so much more to life than just going through the motions. I assist my clients as a whole, meaning I take into consideration not only your mind, but also your body, as well. This means we work on supporting your body in order to feed your mind with healthy hormones. I do take my role as a therapist and ethics responsibly, with this being the case, I do request if you choose to work with me that we work through video teletherapy, as I find this resource to be the most effective for my clients. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am so proud you have taken the first step! Even if you do not choose to work with me and you’d like to find someone that is a better fit. That’s OK! I am here to support you in whatever process you desire! Hours of Operation (Normally) Tuesday: 8:00am-11:00am; 1:00pm-5:00pm Wednesday: 8:00m-11:00am; 1:00pm-5:00pm Thursday: 8:00am-11:00am; 1:00pm-5:00pm Friday: 8:00am-11:00am; 1:00pm-5:00pm Saturday: 10am-12:00am; 1:00pm-3:00pm

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Rochester area can be found below:
How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Rochester therapist?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Rochester due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- Counseling with therapists: $100-300
- Therapy with a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Rochester may not take health insurance, some in the state of New York may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of New York you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Rochester?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Rochester therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Rochester, New York can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Rochester has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
