More about Jeffrey
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I am licensed in California and I have been providing therapy for children, teens, and adults for nine years. I work hard to ensure that clients feel valued, understood, and accepted just as they are because this provides the foundation for effective therapy. When rapport and trust are established, the change process becomes available. I believe that people change by actively modifying the way they think, feel, and act in their daily lives. Therefore, I aim to give clients the insight, tools, and skills they need to make the changes they desire. I emphasize practical plans for applying new skills and tools learned in therapy sessions. I use interventions and tools from various approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with a range of issues including depression, difficulty regulating emotion, relationship issues, and communication problems. It is a true privilege to partner with clients in their journeys toward a better life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
