About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of clinical experience. He offers straightforward help for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and other painful life challenges. He speaks English and accepts international clients for remote care.
Jeffrey uses several practical therapy approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on client-centered methods to listen closely, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.
How Jeffrey works
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. His background includes long experience with remote sessions, so he is comfortable offering video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy lives or manage care from other locations.
Jeffrey works with concerns that range from trauma and abuse to relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Additional focus areas include chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, blended family issues, and infidelity.
In sessions he aims to help clients identify practical next steps. He encourages people to take small, doable actions and to notice what changes. The pace is shaped by each person’s goals and preferences.
To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment. This allows Jeffrey to learn the most important concerns and plan initial sessions that feel manageable and useful.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals that feel right to the client. This approach is useful for people who want a safe space to talk and to shape treatment around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. It offers skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust treatment as progress and preferences become clearer. Clients help decide which techniques feel most useful and when to change course.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports people who prefer writing or who need gradual contact. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using the methods described above.
