Abneet Sohi, LMFT

Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She supports clients facing life transitions and offers care that recognizes the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer day-to-day habits to feel steadier. She uses straightforward, calm language in sessions and centers the person's goals. Conversations focus on thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and functioning. She helps clients break worries into manageable pieces and build small routines that make daily life easier. Abneet draws on several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Client-centered methods create room for the person to guide what matters most. Solution-focused work highlights next steps and short-term goals when someone wants concrete change. Motivational interviewing can help clarify values and boost readiness for change. Over six years of clinical experience in California inform her practical focus. She pays attention to cultural context and identity when it matters to the person. People leave sessions with concrete tools and small experiments to test between appointments.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what matters and helps the person set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple experiments to test new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve concentration during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut out travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue care after a life transition, since sessions can be scheduled around work and daily responsibilities.
