About Jeffrey
Jeffrey (Jeff) Cohen is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He brings two decades of counseling work and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Jeff aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Sessions focus on clear goals the client sets, small steps to reach them, and tools to handle difficult moments.
Background and approach
Jeff favors a warm, relaxed tone and listens closely so clients feel heard. Jeff spent many years working in residential treatment settings with troubled youth and their families, and he has experience with military personnel and veterans. That background shaped his attention to different cultures, values, and life stories.
He emphasizes building resilience so people can better manage life’s challenges. In sessions he combines active listening with straightforward feedback. Clients work on skills for relationships, parenting concerns, coping with grief, addiction-related issues, and self-esteem.
He also addresses career stress, intimacy questions, and challenges that come with aging. Jeff believes problems can spark growth, even if change is uncomfortable. He supports people as they set goals, try new behaviors, and adjust over time.
The approach is collaborative and focused on practical progress.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Jeff blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and take steps toward change. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and patterns, then practicing different reactions to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and builds commitment to take those steps.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. That approach looks for strengths and past successes and uses them to map simple next steps toward the client’s goals. Finding the right mix of these methods is a team effort - he works with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the approach as things move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
