About Jeff
Jeff Hartwig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 12 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. He works with people who face anger, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and those seeking clearer direction in career and life purpose.
Jeff started his counseling work in public school districts, supporting youth with ADHD, social anxiety, impulsive behaviors, parental conflict and sports performance. He returned to Azusa Pacific University to complete his LPCC credential after earning a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from the same school.
Since moving into adult practice, Jeff focuses on building practical skills and clearer ways of thinking. He helps clients develop coping strategies, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and move through grief and trauma. He also has experience supporting people from the entertainment industry, medical fields, social services, and military backgrounds.
Sessions tend to emphasize listening and straightforward skill work. Jeff uses concrete exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to stress and mood problems. He also assists people who want coaching for focus, career decisions, or life purpose.
Jeff speaks English and Dutch. He describes his role as standing alongside clients and offering a nonjudgmental ear while they practice new ways of responding to old problems. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT involves identifying thinking patterns and practicing different responses to lessen anxiety, anger, and depressive moods. It often includes short exercises and homework to try new habits between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and small, practical steps that move someone toward what they want to change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeff will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix will be most useful. He aims to help clients test methods and adjust the plan as they learn what works for them.
