About Jennie
Jennie Bell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Jennie also addresses ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, and career strain.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her, and on DBT and motivational interviewing when skills and behavior change are needed.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, testable steps people can try between meetings. Jennie often works on routines, thought patterns, and coping strategies that reduce stress and improve sleep. She also helps people weigh the pros and cons of change, and practice new ways of handling conflict or cravings.
Jennie adapts the pace and focus to what each person brings. She listens for what’s most pressing, then sets concrete short-term tasks alongside longer-term goals. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what is working.
She practices in New York and offers services in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching steps to schedule an initial session and discuss next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors into steps people can practice. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying new responses, and setting brief between-session tasks to test what helps. Client-Centered Therapy keeps conversation focused on the person's concerns and priorities, allowing the plan to evolve from what the client finds most useful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skill teaching for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and problem-solving when those areas are needed.Picking the right approach is part of the early work. Jennie treats finding the best fit as a collaborative process - she listens to goals, suggests options, and checks in to see what feels most helpful. Together they set short-term targets and adjust methods based on what the client reports between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue skill practice and follow-ups without rearranging a full day. Jennie will discuss practical arrangements and how best to schedule sessions during the first meeting.
