About Jean
Jean Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, New York (LMHC) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship questions, and issues affecting sexual orientation and gender identity.
Her style is direct and conversational. She keeps sessions practical and focused on problem solving. Jean aims to help people talk through what is happening now and build simple options they can try between sessions.
Jean draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also uses client-centered principles to follow what matters most to each person. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide how she notices and names the feelings under relationship pain.
People come to her for many issues beyond mood and anxiety. She lists blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, infidelity, workplace strain, addiction concerns, and trauma-related struggles among her focus areas. Jean also offers coaching-style work for career and motivation questions.
Sessions are practical. Expect a discussion about current problems, some skill practice, and clear next steps. She encourages people to treat counseling as an ongoing conversation that creates gradual change.
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions start with the persons priorities and the therapist reflects back what she hears to clarify concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to notice thoughts and test them with experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at the feelings beneath relationship struggles and helps name those emotions so people can change how they respond.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, EFT ideas, client-centered listening, or a mix suits their goals. She discusses options, tries methods, and adjusts plans based on what works for the client.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on a lunch break, avoid travel time, or do shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow work to continue when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between appointments.
