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, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. He helps people who struggle with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and caregiver or end-of-life worries.

Jeffrey uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. He listens to current problems and helps identify practical next steps. Sessions focus on what a person wants to do differently and how to move toward that in everyday life.

His work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets him offer skill-building, emotional processing, and attention to patterns in relationships. He adapts methods to suit the concern at hand, whether it is coping with loss, addressing addictive behavior, or managing overwhelming emotions.

Jeffrey has long experience using online formats for remote therapy and has assisted people through many life transitions. He emphasizes clear choices about treatment steps and encourages people to try approaches that feel practical. He invites prospective clients to consider a first session to explore what would help most.

To begin, he asks people to describe their current situation and goals. From there, he helps set realistic steps and checks progress in follow-up sessions.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters. Online sessions using this approach let the person set priorities and explore their concerns while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises and between-session practice to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns linked to codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeffrey will review goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. He checks in about how a particular approach is working and adjusts the plan with the client rather than imposing a single method.

The biography reports significant experience using an online platform for remote therapy. Confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, and guided mindfulness practices during sessions. Licensed professionals can often adapt tools and pacing to match each person’s schedule and needs.
