About Brian
Brian Sobieski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship and family questions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, ADHD, and family of origin issues.
He takes a straightforward, problem-solving approach. Sessions focus on practical skills that help with day-to-day coping. He draws on client-centered principles to build on what is already working in a person's life. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to develop alternative actions.
Brian often uses solution-focused methods aimed at quick, usable changes. Mindfulness skills are taught when they help reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational interviewing can be part of the work when someone wants support making a change but feels pulled in different directions.
He has worked with individuals, couples, and families over a long career and brings that experience to questions about communication, boundaries, and blended family issues. He also addresses concerns such as codependency, control problems, impulsivity, and isolation. Practical tools and skill practice are central to sessions.
Brian welcomes conversations about life transitions, career questions, and identity topics including LGBT concerns and veteran-related issues. People who want clear strategies and a focus on improving everyday functioning often find this approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters most. Online sessions can still use that open dialogue to identify goals and strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice patterns of thinking and to try different actions. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems and translates into online work through homework and skill practice between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces short practices to reduce reactivity and increase attention. These exercises can be taught and practiced during online conversations and used between sessions to build calm and focus.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as needed.
