    About Jennie

    Jennie Bell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She supports those dealing with ADHD, addiction struggles, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood challenges, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is direct and respectful. She aims to make the first step easier for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

    Jennie adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and narrative methods to guide work in sessions. That means sessions focus on the client’s goals, practical skills, and clearer thinking about patterns that get in the way.

    Her background includes 15 years of counseling experience practicing in New York. Jennie emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping sessions goal-oriented. She helps people set manageable steps and notice small changes that add up over time.

    In the room she listens first, then helps clients shape a plan that feels doable. Conversations cover what matters now and what can change next. People can expect clear options, collaborative planning, and straightforward skill practice when they meet with her.

    If you are considering therapy, Jennie offers a calm, practical approach to get started and to keep moving toward the changes you want.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Jennie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. That approach relies on listening, respectful questions, and small, client-led goals that can move someone forward.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding the person's experience and working at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her practice too, offering practical techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors that reduce distress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennie will help clients choose what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts methods as progress is made and checks in about what feels useful and what should change.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Jennie aims to make scheduling and attending sessions fit everyday life, which can help with consistent progress. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be easier to maintain.
