About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Sobel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. He is based in New York and brings 13 years of counseling experience to straightforward, practical work. He describes his style as calm, candid, and creative, and focuses on helping clients find manageable next steps.
Jeff often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Solution-Focused Therapy to address both unhelpful thinking and practical problem-solving.
Background and approach
Sessions look at patterns that keep a problem going and then test small changes that can make daily life easier. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in what matters most to each person. Work with him tends to be focused and goal-oriented while still allowing space for emotions.
He helps people build on existing strengths and develop clearer ways to respond to stress or anger. Conversations aim to be direct but kind, and to lead to simple, doable changes. Jeffrey has guided people through parenting strain, career setbacks, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to attention differences.
He welcomes questions about pacing and structure, and he discusses options for video, phone, chat, or text sessions to fit different needs. People who prefer a practical approach that still honors feelings may find his blend of techniques useful. He encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and to adjust the plan as their goals evolve.

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Jeffrey commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when working online. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and small steps that lead to change, keeping each session action-oriented and forward looking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills practice, problem solving, or exploring underlying patterns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
