About Jennifer
Jennifer Pias is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who aims to help people bring calmer, clearer thinking to stressful moments. She focuses on practical tools people can use right away. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on building trust and understanding at the start of work together.
She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and staying steady under pressure. Client-centered methods keep sessions grounded in empathy and the client’s own priorities. Jennifer has nine years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in mental health counseling from The Sage Colleges.
She has worked in hospital settings and with personal patients, which gives her familiarity with a range of concerns. This background supports work on issues like stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. In sessions she works to help people notice what’s working and then build on it.
That can mean learning breathing and grounding skills, practicing new ways of reacting, or setting small goals to shift daily patterns. She also helps with relationship questions, parenting stress, and problems like sleep or low self-esteem. People who come for help often want clear, usable steps and a supportive space to try them out.
Jennifer aims to be collaborative, offering straightforward options while listening for what matters most to each person.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy, and the client’s goals. Online this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client and adapt to their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often includes short between-session exercises, thought records, and step-by-step plans to change day-to-day habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These skills can be practiced in session and reinforced with brief coaching via text or chat when appropriate.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what is helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and focused on real-life problems.
Online formats - video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging - offer flexibility for different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face for skills practice, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can support quick check-ins or shorter coaching, and messaging allows for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
