About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. He also supports people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and anger problems, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD.

Jeffrey uses several practical approaches in his work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying different ways of responding that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. He values giving clients choices about how to move forward.

He has worked in many treatment settings and has experience conducting therapy remotely through an online platform. That background means he is familiar with the logistics of scheduling and running remote sessions. He encourages people to consider what will fit into their routines when choosing how to proceed.

In sessions Jeffrey talks through immediate problems and looks for practical next steps. He helps people build skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and changing behaviors that get in the way of goals. He describes therapy as a process of testing changes and adjusting what isn’t helpful.

If someone is considering starting, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. He notes that the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Jeffrey integrates CBT and related approaches for online care

Jeffrey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT sessions typically involve identifying patterns, trying small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.

He also uses client-centered methods to listen for each person’s priorities and DBT techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Client-centered work focuses on understanding what matters most to the client, while DBT offers concrete tools for managing strong feelings and improving relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Jeffrey collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. He checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is observed or needs change.

The biography indicates he has significant experience using an online platform for remote therapy. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so clients can work on issues without rearranging their whole day.
