About Jennifer

Jennifer Pias is a New York State licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who draws on nine years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, mood concerns, relationship struggles, identity questions, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches care with warmth and empathy, aiming to build a trusting connection that helps clients explore patterns, clarify goals, and increase resilience. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and intimacy or self-esteem challenges.

In practice she integrates evidence-informed techniques with a person-centered stance, using cognitive behavioral tools and dialectical skills alongside mindfulness and Internal Family Systems ideas to help clients notice internal parts, shift unhelpful habits, and strengthen coping. Jennifer’s background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a mix of hospital and independent practice experience.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical growth - whether the aim is improving relationships, navigating career decisions, or finding greater meaning and balance in daily life.

Integrating Practical Techniques with Online Care

Jennifer commonly uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and dialogue with different internal parts, which can be useful for managing strong emotions, trauma responses, and inner conflicts. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often pairing those skills with mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and stress regulation.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time. Clients can expect a mix of reflective, skills-based, and experiential work based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online therapy is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care when life circumstances change. These options provide flexibility for people who prefer real-time conversation or shorter, message-based check-ins, and they support ongoing practice of skills between sessions with a licensed professional.
