About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. He uses a straightforward, person-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, addiction, and related concerns. His style aims to be practical and respectful, focusing on what will help someone take the next step.
He spends time listening to what matters most and helps shape concrete strategies from that conversation. Jeffrey draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's goals and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Background and approach
He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and build coping skills. Over three decades he has worked with people in many life situations. That experience informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs.
He has substantial experience delivering therapy remotely and is comfortable using video, phone, chat, and messaging formats. Jeffrey emphasizes collaboration. He helps people weigh options, try different techniques, and notice what makes a real difference.
His aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and he supports clients as they experiment with new ways of coping. People reach out to him for a wide range of issues including trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life matters.
He encourages taking a first step and learning which approaches fit best.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist draws out what matters most and helps set goals that feel useful and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger through repeated practice.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide whether to emphasize person-centered conversations, CBT skills, DBT emotion tools, or a blend of methods based on goals and preferences. This shared process helps tailor sessions to the problem at hand and to how each person prefers to work.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of treatment. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation for skill coaching and emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill practice, and prompts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
