About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Sobel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, relationship trouble, career questions, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He focuses on practical, goal-oriented conversations. Sessions look at unhelpful thinking and everyday patterns that keep problems going. He also helps people identify strengths and small, doable steps to change how things feel and work.
His main methods include cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused techniques. That means he helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, test new responses, and try quick strategies that target current problems. He also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change.
Jeffrey prefers straightforward sessions that stay focused on what matters most to the person in front of him. He encourages concrete experiments between sessions, like short behavior changes or new ways of talking to yourself. Those experiments are reviewed to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
People who choose him should expect direct feedback and practical planning. He aims to make the time productive, whether the goal is easing anxiety, managing parenting stress, improving work functioning, or recovering from burnout. To begin, follow the provider's setup steps to match and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Jeffrey often uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and daily habits by breaking problems into small, changeable pieces.He also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on immediate goals and practical steps. These techniques are useful when someone wants short-term, targeted change like improving parenting routines or managing work stress. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what a person really wants and to build readiness for change in a collaborative way.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed and new priorities arise.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to practice new skills in everyday settings. Discuss format and timing when scheduling to choose what suits your routine best.
