About Brian

Brian Sobieski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who guides adults through stress, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 25 years in the field, he blends practical coaching with psychotherapy to help clients develop clearer coping strategies, strengthen communication, and regain a sense of agency when dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and other life stresses.

He favors an outcome-oriented style that draws on solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral interventions while centering each person’s strengths. Brian also incorporates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support behavior change, improve emotional regulation, and increase day-to-day functioning.

His work includes attention to family dynamics, blended family issues, codependency, intimacy and communication problems, and challenges such as compassion fatigue and impulsivity. Brian accepts international clients and offers flexible online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

His practice asks prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin, and scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Brian integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in an online format to address patterns of thinking and to build concrete skills. CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for anxiety, mood difficulties, and impulsivity, while solution-focused work emphasizes setting specific, achievable goals and identifying small steps that lead to improved daily functioning.

He also draws on mindfulness practices to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and resilience when managing stress, grief, or trauma symptoms. Finding the right approach is collaborative; he works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.

Online therapy with Brian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and use therapeutic tools in the moments when they are most needed.
