About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He also lists additional focus areas including caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness and disability, and end-of-life concerns.
He uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior elements, emotionally-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. He favors listening first, clarifying what matters to the person, and then choosing strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Jeffrey has extensive experience conducting therapy online and has used remote sessions for many years. He emphasizes collaborative decision making about next steps. The aim is to find relief, strengthen coping, and identify manageable changes a person can make.
People who reach out are invited to describe their situation and goals. Jeffrey will work to understand current challenges and identify short-term and longer-term options. He encourages taking small, concrete steps rather than making sweeping changes all at once.
If you want to explore concerns about family dynamics or parenting stress as an individual, he can help you talk through patterns, set boundaries, and find strategies that fit your daily life.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports choices that feel realistic for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and coping with stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication keeps causing conflict. Jeffrey draws from these approaches and from mindfulness practice to offer tools that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide what helps most based on their situation, goals, and preferences. That assessment may change as progress is made, and strategies are revisited along the way.
The biography documents long experience with remote therapy but does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports maintaining continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
