About Dell
Dell Bednar is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. She uses practical, goal-focused methods so conversations lead to change. Dell aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Dell blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying what isn’t working, spotting patterns, and testing small changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
How Dell works
She keeps work straightforward and conversational rather than overly clinical. Her background includes long-term counseling and life coaching across many common concerns like career decisions, parenting strain, relationship challenges, and compassion fatigue. That experience informs how she helps people set realistic goals and track progress over time.
The emphasis is on usable tools rather than abstract theory. In sessions Dell listens for strengths and past successes to build on. She uses reflective questions and motivational techniques to help people clarify values and make sustainable changes.
Narrative elements are used to reframe difficult stories so clients can move forward with more control. People who prefer clear steps and practical strategies tend to find her style useful. The treatment plan is always tailored to the person’s situation and adjusted as progress is made.
Dell encourages small, steady steps toward better functioning and greater confidence.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change through respectful conversation and clear goal-setting, which can be especially helpful for addictions and ambivalence about change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dell will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and pace. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so techniques that don’t fit can be replaced with ones that do, and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy with video calls lets people see facial cues and hold a fuller conversation similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
