Background and approach
Therapy centers on discovering what fits for each person and identifying small, sensible changes that add up. Sessions are direct and collaborative. Jeff explains his thinking clearly and invites questions or challenges when things do not make sense.
He avoids making clients feel ‘‘wrong’’ and instead works to help them feel more capable and empowered. His main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used to help people change thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and build on what is already working.
These methods guide work on panic, obsessions, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and other concerns. Jeff has worked across many settings and with a wide range of issues over three decades. He draws on that experience to tailor straightforward strategies so clients can see progress sooner.
He welcomes questions about whether his style is a good match for a person’s needs.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical changes to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessions, and mood problems and involves simple exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying clear goals and amplifying what already works. It uses brief, goal-oriented conversations to build quick momentum and practical steps people can take right away to improve relationships, coping, or daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor CBT, solution-focused ideas, or a mix that fits. Clients are invited to question the plan so adjustments can be made together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists use visual cues for skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick problem solving, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
