About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or having trouble sleeping. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting questions, substance concerns, and life transitions.
Jennifer blends practical therapy methods with a warm, empathic style. Sessions start with what matters most to the client and move toward small, doable steps. She listens for strengths a person already uses and builds on them to reach everyday goals like better sleep, calmer moods, or clearer boundaries.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with client-centered principles. That means conversations look at thoughts and behaviors, skills for handling strong emotions, and a focus on the client’s experience in the moment. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques also appear when they fit someone’s situation.
Jennifer earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The Sage Colleges and holds a New York LMHC credential. She currently practices in New York and has experience working in a private hospital setting as well as with individual clients, couples, and adolescent groups.
Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative process. Jennifer helps set clear, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. The aim is steady, practical change that fits daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and priorities. It focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, sleep, and mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stress, useful for mood instability and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. That choice can shift as progress is made, and sessions are tailored to what the client wants to address first.
For online therapy logistics please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make scheduling easier during work or caregiving days. Other practical benefits include using shorter check-ins when needed and choosing formats that suit energy or bandwidth limits. Discussing these preferences upfront helps ensure sessions match daily life and goals.
