About Dell
Dell Bednar is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career coaching, and compassion fatigue. She uses practical conversation and clear steps to address day-to-day problems.
Her sessions are interactive and goal-oriented. She listens to what is happening now and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. From there she works on small, concrete changes that fit into daily life rather than long abstract plans.
Dell draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy inform how she looks at strengths and past successes.
Her style aims to be straightforward and collaborative. She helps set simple goals, tries practical experiments, and checks progress from session to session. Sessions often include short exercises, homework, or conversation about what worked and what did not.
People who reach out usually want clear steps for coping, problem solving, or making a change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How cognitive and motivational approaches translate to online work
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on specific thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and practical homework that fit into daily routines. This approach helps people notice patterns and try different responses between meetings.Motivational Interviewing is useful when someone feels unsure about change. It focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation through conversation rather than pressure. Narrative Therapy can help by looking at the stories people tell about themselves and identifying alternative, more useful storylines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help therapy fit everyday life without promising a particular format.
