About Jennie
Jennie Bell is a New York licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, trauma and related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people clarify what is happening for them. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Jennie mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical strategies to address strong emotions and unhelpful thoughts.
She also brings narrative and motivational approaches into sessions. That means she helps people make sense of the stories they tell themselves and find realistic reasons to change behaviors. This can help with motivation around addictions, sleep, or career choices.
People often come to her when resentment builds, when they snap at people they care about, or when stress at work becomes overwhelming. Jennie aims to identify small, usable tools clients can try between meetings, like brief breathing skills, thought-challenging, and behavior experiments.
Her background includes long-term work in outpatient settings and direct client care across a range of concerns. She asks practical questions early on so goals are clear, measurable, and something the client can notice changing over weeks rather than months.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach tend to center on the person's concerns and the goals they bring to each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking. Online CBT sessions often include homework such as tracking thoughts or trying behavior experiments between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, like distress tolerance and emotion regulation, and can be used to reduce outbursts and rehearse calmer responses.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to emphasize based on problems, goals, and what the person prefers. That discussion happens early and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session format before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Many people find that using skills and short assignments between sessions fits daily life better when meetings are held remotely.
