About Dell
Dell Bednar is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She uses straightforward, interactive sessions to help clients clarify goals and find practical ways forward. Many people look to her for support with grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. That means conversations focus on the connections between thoughts and behavior, the stories people tell about themselves, and small changes that create progress.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than scripted. Dell often draws on Motivational Interviewing when someone is weighing change. She helps people weigh pros and cons, notice readiness, and move toward choices that match their values.
This is useful for addiction concerns and for making major life adjustments. Clients can expect practical tools they can use between meetings, such as simple behavior experiments, reframing techniques, and step-by-step planning. The plan is adapted as progress is made and new issues arise.
The focus stays on what is useful in day-to-day life. She approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations aim to empower people to make choices that feel manageable.
Those ready to start a conversation are encouraged to take the first step and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Many sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT helps break down large problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Motivational Interviewing is also used to explore readiness for change and boost motivation. It helps people clarify values and decide on practical next steps, which can be helpful when addressing addictions or starting new parenting routines.
Dell treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as needs change. That collaborative stance helps make sessions feel more relevant and effective.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing problem-solving between longer sessions.
