About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Finkbiner is a Pennsylvania-licensed professional counselor with 30 years of clinical experience who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to help people cope with difficult life challenges.

Background and approach

He emphasizes practical, skills-based work that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and builds strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms while respecting each person's pace and choices.

His practice addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, as well as related relationship and intimacy issues.

He also works with matters that touch family dynamics, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, end-of-life concerns, and patterns such as codependency and communication problems. Finkbiner approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify next steps that feel achievable and sustainable.

He brings experience using remote formats for counseling and supports clients in selecting methods and goals that align with their needs and preferences.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches with online care



Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and prioritizes the client's experience and choices to guide progress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for intense emotional problems and self-management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This process helps clients feel involved in deciding what strategies to try and when to shift focus.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and at varied times. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations while still engaging in hands-on CBT, mindfulness practices, and skills-based work with a therapist.
