About Jeffrey
Jeffrey (Jeff) Cohen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and other everyday problems such as parenting, career strain, and grief. Jeff also helps people facing intimacy-related issues, addictions, self-esteem struggles, anger, and coping with life changes.
Before private practice, he worked in residential treatment centers with adolescents and families. He has also worked with military personnel and veterans and draws on that experience when relevant. His background includes hands-on clinical work across diverse cultures, faiths, and values.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address practical problems. He focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions and on skills for managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that affect daily life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what the client wants to change.
Jeff describes himself as having strong listening skills and seeks to understand each person’s perspective. He helps clients set goals they choose and supports them in taking steps toward those goals. He frames problems as opportunities for growth while acknowledging change can be uncomfortable.
People who notice patterns from their family of origin, such as roles, communication habits, or expectations, may find it useful to bring those concerns into sessions. He works in English and practices in Missouri as an LPC.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. CBT sessions often include clear skills and short exercises to try between meetings.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That method focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation in small, practical steps.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide whether CBT, motivational techniques, or solution-focused planning fits best and adjust the plan over time.
