About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, life changes, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Jennifer also lists work with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stress, and LGBT-related issues.
She trained at The Sage Colleges, earning a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Her background includes roles in an upstate New York private hospital and caseloads in outpatient settings. That mix of hospital and outpatient experience informs how she structures sessions and follows up on progress.
Jennifer uses familiar talk therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, solution-focused strategies, and client-centered methods. In practice that means setting concrete, short-term goals when useful and practicing skills between sessions to manage symptoms and daily stress.
Sessions focus on identifying what’s working now, building practical coping strategies, and improving communication in relationships when that is part of the concern. She also runs groups for adolescents in her other roles, though this profile focuses on adult clinical work.
Her approach emphasizes listening, building trust, and working toward goals like clearer boundaries, better sleep routines, or steadier mood regulation. Clients often leave with steps they can try between appointments and a plan for what to address next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking. CBT often includes practical homework, such as keeping mood logs or trying behavioral experiments between sessions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT provides concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving relationships through communication and boundary techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-focused plan for a few weeks or combining approaches as needs change.
