About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at creating a trusting space where clients can speak openly and work toward concrete goals.
Jennifer draws on several practical methods in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques help with emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel intense. Client-centered methods make room for the person's values and pace in the work. In practice she pairs evidence-based tools with an empathic approach.
Sessions often include skill-building, problem-solving, and focused conversation about current struggles. Jennifer also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, caregiver stress, and identity-related concerns within LGBT contexts. Her background includes a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The Sage Colleges and clinical work in a personal hospital in upstate New York.
She has experience treating mood disorders, addictions, OCD symptoms, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. People who choose her can expect collaborative goal-setting and clear steps between sessions. The focus is on practical change - better coping, clearer decision-making, and small shifts that add up over time.
She offers multiple online session formats to fit different routines.
Practical therapy methods for online care
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and low mood going, then testing and changing them with specific exercises. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense feelings and relationship strain. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her work by keeping sessions focused on the person’s values and pace while building a trusting connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals and daily life. That means trying an approach for a few sessions, checking progress, and adjusting strategies together so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online therapy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier, and messaging supports ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
