About Jean
Jean Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ matters. Her work also covers stress, anger, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and family of origin issues.
Jean keeps talks direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and options clients can try between meetings. She describes counseling as a discussion that looks for small changes that add up over time. Her manner is relaxed and straightforward, which many people find makes it easier to speak openly.
In the room she uses a client-centered stance, which means she listens first and follows what matters to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Emotionally-focused work helps when relationship hurts and closeness issues are the focus.
Clients who bring concerns about family roles, blended family stress, caregiver strain, or old patterns from childhood can work on how those themes affect current life. Jean also supports people dealing with chronic pain, mood disorders, panic, and issues tied to prejudice or first responder stress.
She offers straightforward coaching around career and self-esteem alongside therapy for mood and trauma symptoms. Sessions aim to increase practical coping skills, clearer communication, and decisions that fit a client's life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How Jean uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach focus on reflective listening and letting the client's priorities guide each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. Delivered remotely, CBT usually includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new coping strategies between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when patterns of closeness and conflict repeat in relationships; it works by naming emotions and trying new ways of responding to one another.Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust course based on how useful they feel. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide decisions about methods and tasks.
