About Jean
Jean Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and issues related to LGBTQ identities. Her work also covers stress, anger, addictions, intimacy-related struggles, and challenges around self-esteem and career change.
Jean uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to a client. Sessions focus on naming feelings and noticing recurring patterns that make life harder. She favors an easygoing, genuine manner that many people find calming during difficult talks.
Her background includes approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful habits and respond differently to strong emotions.
In session Jean will listen, offer reflections, and help build practical options. That can mean learning small skills for stress and panic, shaping plans for managing mood swings, or mapping steps after trauma. She describes counseling as a discussion leading to concrete changes rather than a mysterious process.
She also attends to related life complications like blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and the effects of prejudice. People seeking support for sexual assault, infidelity, panic attacks, or compassion fatigue will find these topics listed among her focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place with her New York LMHC credential in mind. Prospective clients should confirm the current session formats before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment patterns. It can help people spot repeated interaction cycles and respond differently in close relationships or personal conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and uses reflective listening to help clarify thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss different methods and choose what fits a client's goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. They also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Talk with Jean during the matching questionnaire about what will work best for timing and session length, so practical arrangements match everyday life.
