Jeffrey Finkbiner

Jeffrey Finkbiner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with thirty years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing painful or stressful life moments and helps them find practical next steps.

He uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs rather than one fixed formula. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, naming what is getting in the way, and trying small changes that can lead to relief. Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, sleep problems, and attention differences.

His work also covers longer-term or complex issues such as bipolar disorder, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and end-of-life or hospice counseling. He pays attention to patterns from family of origin, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and problems after infidelity or divorce.

Jeffrey draws on Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. He aims to help people recognize helpful thoughts and behaviors, manage strong emotions, and build more workable habits.

He has experience conducting therapy remotely and supports people who prefer that option. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session so the two of you can decide the best path forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship to explore what feels most important. It helps with making decisions, managing strong feelings, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger by changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. You and the therapist can try different techniques and decide what helps most in practice.

Jeffrey has experience conducting remote therapy and is comfortable working with people who choose online sessions. If you plan to meet remotely, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins, and help fit therapy into a busy week while keeping the focus on practical tools and emotional change.
