About Dell
Dell Bednar is an Ohio licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, direct style and aims to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. Dell also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Dell uses Narrative Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused ideas. She helps people talk about the stories they tell themselves and look for new, more helpful ways to understand their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps so progress is visible between meetings. Her approach is interactive and practical. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps clients test new behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing tools are used when someone needs support finding internal reasons to change, especially around addiction or difficult habits. Dell tailors each plan to the person in front of her. Typical sessions include goal-setting, skill practice, and reviewing what worked or didn’t.
She balances direct feedback with encouragement so people leave with concrete next steps. For many, reaching out feels hard. Dell frames that first step as a moment of strength and works to keep therapy straightforward and manageable.
She guides people as they sort priorities, build coping skills, and make changes that stick.

Narrative and Practical Tools for Online Therapy
Many people find Narrative Therapy useful when they want to reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps identify limiting narratives and opens room for different ways of seeing events and relationships. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through specific exercises and practice, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build readiness for difficult steps, often used with concerns like addiction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try the methods that fit best. Sessions often mix short-term goals, skill practice, and reflection so the plan can change as progress happens.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be easier when video bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or between-session support. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
