About Jennifer

Jennifer Pias is a New York State licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings an empathetic, client-centered stance to her work, helping people explore patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges such as addiction, ADHD, and mood disorders. Her approach emphasizes building trust as the basis for collaborative change and personal growth.

Drawing on evidence-informed methods, Jennifer combines cognitive behavioral strategies with dialectical behavior and client-centered ideas to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills, and strengthen emotional regulation. She also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when helpful, tailoring interventions to individual concerns like sleep problems, career questions, caregiver stress, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and issues around identity and life purpose.

Jennifer works from New York and offers a pragmatic, compassionate style that supports clients in clarifying goals, developing practical skills, and increasing confidence as they pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and symptoms such as obsessive-compulsive tendencies. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those capacities are a focus. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathy and building a trusting relationship as a platform for change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she works with each person to determine which combination of strategies best suits their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process may involve trying structured CBT techniques, practicing DBT skills, and using solution-focused or mindfulness tools as appropriate to the client’s needs.

Online therapy with her is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into busy lives while working toward clearer goals and improved coping.
