About Jennie
Jennie Bell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, relationship and family strain, grief, and substance-related struggles. Jennie emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care for each person who reaches out.
She uses a conversational, client-centered style. Jennie listens first to what matters most and then shapes sessions around those priorities. She aims to make talk therapy straightforward and practical, so people leave with clear steps to try between appointments.
Jennie draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. In practice she helps people reframe unhelpful thoughts, build emotion-regulation skills, strengthen motivation for change, and rewrite personal stories that feel stuck. These methods are adapted to each person’s goals and pace.
With 15 years of experience, Jennie has worked across a range of concerns including ADHD, parenting stress, intimacy issues, career strain, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She will collaborate on a plan that addresses sleep and rest when that is a priority. Sessions are shaped to match daily life and real-world demands.
People who choose Jennie can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and steady support while they work toward better sleep, clearer priorities, and improved coping with life changes.
Approaches that guide online care and sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s lead to set goals and plan the work. This approach helps when someone wants their own values and choices to guide change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches skills to notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different actions that can improve mood and sleep. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and insomnia-related habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It includes breathing and grounding techniques, emotion-regulation strategies, and ways to improve tense interactions with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will collaborate to identify which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as progress unfolds. That collaboration helps make sessions feel useful and realistic.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, remove travel time, and let people meet from a familiar setting. Ask about session options when you schedule so the format suits your routine and goals.
