About Jennie
Jennie Bell is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She brings calm, straightforward care to conversations about depression, grief, anger, and relationship or family strain. Jennie aims to make the first step feel possible and less overwhelming.
Jennie uses a conversational, goal-focused style. She listens closely to each person's story and adapts sessions to fit their needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered work that prioritizes the person's priorities and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. When emotions feel intense, she brings in DBT-informed skills to help with regulation and problem solving.
Jennie has 15 years of clinical experience in New York and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, addiction, sleep problems, parenting stress, career pressure, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and respectful.
Jennie aims to create a space where people can talk honestly, try new strategies, and track progress in real life. She works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to adjust the plan as things change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist following their lead and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and encourages practical problem solving tailored to their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and anxiety. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors, and assigning short exercises to try between meetings to build new habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT-informed work, brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These tools can be taught in brief instruction and practiced during or after sessions to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Finding the right approach is part of how Jennie works. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans if something does not feel useful. That collaborative process helps pick strategies that match needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and day-to-day support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently.
