About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addiction, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, ADHD, and other mood and personality-related struggles.
She combines practical therapy tools with a person-centered attitude. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that get in the way. Jennifer names cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior skills among the methods she uses, together with client-centered listening and mindfulness-based ideas.
Her style is straightforward. She aims to build trust and listen before offering interventions. That can mean learning to notice triggers, practicing new coping skills, or setting small experiments to test different responses to anger, stress, or relationship tension.
Jennifer has worked in a private hospital in upstate New York and continues to see private clients. She also has experience running groups for adolescents and seeing couples in her practice. Her training includes a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The Sage Colleges.
Typical work in sessions includes setting short-term goals, using cognitive and behavioral strategies, and practicing emotion-regulation skills. She helps people name the patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or avoidance, and then builds simple, practical steps to reduce their impact.
People who want direct, goal-focused sessions that still emphasize listening may find her approach useful. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and then offers tools clients can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in plain, practical ways. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can identify their own goals and next steps. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when anger or impulsivity flare.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That may mean trying CBT exercises one month and then adding DBT skills for handling intense moments. The plan is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and keeping check-ins brief when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be run. The emphasis is on making therapy usable in everyday life - practicing skills between meetings, doing short experiments, and reviewing what helped in the last week.
