About Dell
Dell Bednar is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who uses practical, interactive methods to help people through stressful times. She brings 25 years of experience as a counselor and life coach to conversations about anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focusing on what will work for each person.
In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with narrative and solution-focused ideas.
Background and approach
That means she helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, looks at the stories people tell about themselves, and sets small, achievable goals. She works to make each plan fit the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her background includes long-term practice supporting people through relationship strain, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She also has experience addressing trauma and substance-related difficulties. Over the years she has used coaching tools alongside counseling to help people move from worry to action. Sessions are conversational and interactive.
Clients can expect a mix of skill-building, reflective dialogue, and practical steps to try between meetings. The aim is to create clearer choices and steady progress. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits.
Bednar works with English-speaking clients in Ohio and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It is hands-on and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.Motivational Interviewing aims to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify their goals and decide on next steps when they feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or blend methods so the plan fits the person’s needs and priorities.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These formats allow flexibility for scheduling and let people connect from home or while traveling. For many, that flexibility makes it easier to keep up with regular work toward their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
