About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. He also addresses sleep problems, anger, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and caregiver and aging-related stresses.

Over three decades he has seen many life transitions and losses. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use between meetings. He listens to how current problems connect to earlier family roles and expectations, then helps people notice patterns that keep repeating.

His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotion regulation and grounding.

Jeffrey has experience conducting therapy remotely and uses that experience to support people who prefer digital sessions. He encourages clients to make informed choices about what feels manageable for them and about the pace of change.

Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps for coping, communication, and self-care. He helps people weigh options around relationships, caregiving, aging concerns, chronic illness, and separation. Practical problem-solving is paired with attention to feelings that come from family history.

To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach involve asking questions, reflecting what the client says, and helping the client decide which steps feel most useful for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thinking and behavior. In remote sessions CBT uses practical exercises, thought records, and behavior plans to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In an online setting DBT often includes teaching breathing and grounding techniques, distress-tolerance skills, and communication strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and methods are adjusted together based on what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or health needs. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
