Jennifer Doane , LICSW

Jennifer Doane is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), a licensed clinical social worker qualified to provide psychotherapy, with nearly 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families across community mental health, private practice, and adoption services. She works primarily with adults ages 18 and up, bringing extensive experience to challenges that accompany life transitions, such as job or college changes, shifting family or relationship roles, and broader life stage adjustments.

Jennifer helps clients manage stress and anxiety, address self-esteem and motivation concerns, and work through feelings of grief, loss, or depression that can emerge during periods of change. She has additional focus on adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, family of origin issues, fertility concerns, isolation or loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, and women's issues.

Her style is grounded in meeting each person where they are: some clients benefit from structured, task-oriented sessions while others need space to process emotions through open conversation. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and collaborates with each client to tailor the dialogue and treatment plan to their unique needs. Reaching out for help is difficult, and Jennifer views that first step as the start of a balanced and supported journey toward the goals a client identifies.
