About Jean Bennett

Jean Bennett is a New York licensed LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - with eight years of professional experience helping people navigate relationship concerns, LGBTQIA+ related challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger management. She emphasizes a straightforward, down-to-earth style that helps people feel at ease and able to speak openly about difficult thoughts and emotions.

Jean creates a collaborative therapeutic space in which discussion and practical problem solving take priority over jargon. She frames counseling as a conversation and a process of building options and strategies that lead to meaningful change rather than a mysterious or overly clinical procedure. That approach supports clients in identifying goals, testing new ways of coping, and taking steps toward greater stability and wellbeing.

With a calm, genuine presence, Jean focuses on empowering people as they work through current struggles and make changes that matter to them. Her aim is to support each person in feeling understood, respected, and equipped with tools they can use beyond the therapy session.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy is comparable to traditional in-person sessions for supporting progress and symptom management.

One clear benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in whatever format feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity of care during life changes.

Licensed professionals offer remote services, and if someone feels they need a different match they are free to switch therapists. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, consistent way to pursue goals, learn coping strategies, and work through challenges with a trained therapist.
