About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and parenting pressures. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Jennifer draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior methods alongside client-centered work. That means she pays attention to how thoughts and behaviors link, practices skills for managing strong emotions, and centers the client's perspective in conversation. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to build simple, usable strategies for daily life.
She describes trust and honest connection as the base for any work together. Conversations focus on figuring out what has helped before, and what concrete steps could help now. Typical goals include calmer responses to anger, better sleep, clearer boundaries, and progress toward career or relationship aims.
Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling from The Sage Colleges and clinical work in a private hospital in upstate New York. That mix of settings informs a practical style that moves between skill practice and talking through patterns.
Jennifer also runs groups and works with private patients. She uses short-term, goal-focused exercises when useful, and keeps conversations grounded in daily routines so skills transfer outside sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage strong emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills offer step-by-step practices for handling intense feelings, tolerating distress, and communicating with less reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods based on what the client wants to change. That collaborative planning helps set short-term targets and usable strategies.
