About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, and a wide range of life changes. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, OCD patterns, and intimacy-related problems.
She blends practical strategies with a client-centered stance. That means sessions focus on what the person wants to change, and on clear steps to do that. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
Jennifer trained at The Sage Colleges and practices in New York. She sees private patients, conducts couple work, and runs adolescent groups in a hospital setting, along with other clinical responsibilities. Her LMHC credential is listed as New York State LMHC.
In sessions she talks through specific goals such as relationship skills, career decisions, parenting challenges, or coping with major life transitions. Work is often concrete - identifying patterns, experimenting with new responses, and checking what helps.
Her approach also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused methods to build short-term coping and practical plans. People looking for measurable steps, clear techniques, and focused conversation about current problems may find this approach useful.
How her methods translate to online sessions

DBT skills training teaches practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered work in her practice emphasizes listening and reflecting to clarify goals and priorities.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds useful. That means sessions can shift between skill practice, focused problem-solving, and reflective conversation depending on progress and preference.
