About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Finkbiner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. He greets people who are facing painful situations and wants to learn about their life and needs before planning next steps. He emphasizes choice and collaboration so each person shapes the path forward.
He uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
He often combines client-centered work with cognitive and mindfulness tools to manage stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Jeffrey has worked with many kinds of problems across his career. He helps people navigate grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and changes that come with aging or caregiving.
ADHD is also listed among his focus areas and may come up when attention, organization, or daily functioning are concerns. His approach blends compassion with concrete strategies. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus in everyday life. Jeffrey is familiar with remote work and has extensive experience conducting sessions online. He invites people to try the process and to shape therapy to fit their goals and rhythm.
If someone wants to explore next steps, he encourages a simple first move toward a brief conversation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals that feel possible. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful habits and reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily challenges, and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can shift over time based on what feels helpful, and decisions are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps someone organize their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between in-depth sessions.
