About Neil
Neil Steinert is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger alongside related concerns. He also supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and questions about identity and intimacy. He practices in New Jersey and works with clients in English.
Neil keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. He helps people spot patterns that lead to angry outbursts and builds simple strategies to respond differently. Work in sessions often includes short exercises, skill practice, and plans to use between meetings.
Background and approach
He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationships shape reactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase calm and present-moment control. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy add brief coaching elements to set clear next steps.
With 13 years of experience, Neil blends direct coaching with a collaborative tone. He encourages clients to identify small, doable changes and to track progress over time. Conversations are straightforward and paced to fit each person’s needs.
Outside of work he has lived in New Jersey since 1999 and has personal experience with parenting and divorce. He enjoys rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and vegetarian cooking. That life experience informs a down-to-earth style in sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and safety in relationships. Online work can involve mapping those patterns and practicing new responses in real time during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; virtual sessions include short exercises, thought records, and homework to try between appointments. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, with brief guided exercises that translate well to video or audio.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Neil will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins, coaching prompts, and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
