About Jared
Dr. Jared Gorfinkel is an Oregon psychologist (OR Psychologist 3476) with seven years of professional experience. They work with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, LGBT-related concerns, and codependency. Jared focuses on helping people who keep putting others first and who struggle to set boundaries or sustain their own needs.
In sessions Jared uses clear, practical conversation and listening. They draw on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques help to slow things down and notice reactions without getting swept up.
Jared also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer conversations about patterns that repeat over time. That can include family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and how past hurts affect current relationships. Sessions aim to make those patterns easier to recognize and name.
People who seek Jared often want help with intimacy questions, sexual identity and kink-related concerns, body image, or the stress of caregiving and chronic illness. They also address career stress, shame, jealousy, and isolation. Jared works in English and practices in Oregon.
To begin, prospective clients use an online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Payment uses a cancelable subscription model that varies by location. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How Jared uses approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's concerns at the center of each session. Jared listens for what matters most and follows the client's lead to understand current problems and priorities. This approach is helpful for people who feel unheard or stuck in patterns with others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and trying practical behavior experiments. Jared may work with clients to test small changes, track reactions, and shift unhelpful thinking that feeds anxiety, depression, or people-pleasing behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods fit the client's goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, reduces travel time, and makes shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can help on a busy day. Jared will discuss what works best when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
