About Dell
Dell Bednar is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) who brings 25 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Her style is practical and interactive, aimed at clear steps and real progress.
Dell takes a direct, respectful approach. She listens first and helps people set small, reachable goals. Sessions often include conversations about patterns of thinking and behavior, and ways to change those patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses motivational techniques to support movement toward healthier choices. Her background includes long experience as a counselor and life coach in Ohio. Over the years she has worked with people facing job transitions, parenting strain, relationship conflict, and compassion fatigue.
That variety shapes a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s situation. In session Dell mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means she helps people reframe unhelpful stories, find practical solutions, and build motivation for change.
The plan is tailored to each person’s goals and pace. Dell encourages a collaborative process. She helps clients identify concrete steps, practices to try between sessions, and ways to measure progress.
The aim is to leave people feeling more capable of handling life’s challenges.
Practical therapy online using CBT and motivational methods
Many of Dell's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving tools for managing thinking and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is another common approach she uses; it focuses on building a person's own reasons for change and can be especially useful for addictions and ambivalence about decisions.Dell treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try approaches that fit. Over time she adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and continuity of care. Video calls let people have fuller conversations and use visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in between appointments, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel.
