This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and can be particularly helpful for issues such as self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeffrey works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions and interventions as the work progresses so the plan reflects the client’s changing priorities.

Online therapy with Jeffrey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support during life transitions, and integrate therapy into everyday routines while working with a licensed therapist.
