    About Jeffrey

    Jeffrey Sobel is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 13 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck by focusing on clear goals and practical steps. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, anger, and issues around parenting and family life.

    His style is calm, direct, and creative. Sessions aim to balance looking at thoughts and building on strengths. Jeffrey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to find workable steps forward.

    Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people want to make changes but feel uncertain or ambivalent. That method focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and on building motivation at a manageable pace. Jeffrey frames change as a process and supports small, steady steps.

    He values respect and sensitivity, and he encourages people to bring the practical problems they face. Conversations tend to be goal-oriented and grounded in real-life tasks, not long lectures. Jeffrey believes therapy is a partnership where the client’s priorities shape the plan.

    If a person wants straightforward discussion and tools they can use between sessions, he aims to provide that. Prospective clients should follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to connect and schedule a match.

  2. How his approaches translate to online therapy

    Jeffrey commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and reactions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build small, sustainable steps when motivation feels mixed.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to figure out what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works in everyday life.

    Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in visits when needed. It also gives flexibility for people to use strategies between sessions and discuss how they worked in real situations.
