About Abneet

Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to help clients manage mood disorders, obsessive or compulsive patterns, and a wide array of relational and identity concerns including issues related to LGBT identities and gender dysphoria.

Her work also addresses specific themes such as abandonment, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, immigration-related struggles, and difficulties with jealousy, infidelity, or financial stress. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect, blending client-centered listening with practical, skills-based strategies.

Abneet integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and set achievable goals. Motivational interviewing and trauma-informed approaches inform her work when exploring ambivalence or healing from past hurts.

Based in California, she offers sessions in English and tailors treatment to each person’s circumstances, aiming to foster growth, self-compassion, and clearer direction in life.

Approaches and Online Access for Practical Change

Abneet commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and compulsive habits. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients’ experiences guide the pace and focus of sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity when strong emotions or stress arise.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and past efforts, adjusting methods as needed so that interventions match what feels most useful and manageable in daily life.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when life changes or travel occur.
