About Jean
LMHC Jean Bennett is a New York licensed mental health counselor with 8 years of experience. She focuses on LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and stress. Jean also works with career questions, self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Jean describes counseling as a practical conversation. She aims for a relaxed, genuine manner that helps people speak openly. Rather than formal jargon, she frames therapy as building options and making changes together.
In session she uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the person. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit when clients want tools to manage stress or make changes.
Her work includes support for people facing blended family strains, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, first responder issues, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also helps people dealing with infidelity, prejudice and discrimination, sexual assault and intimacy concerns.
Jean notes that therapy is collaborative. She helps people list options, test small changes, and pick steps that fit their life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. In practice this means sessions start from the client's concerns and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help the person make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether more CBT work, emotionally-focused work, or mindfulness exercises are the best next steps, and they adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between meetings and use mindfulness or motivational interviewing strategies in day-to-day situations.
