About Abneet

Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficult life changes. She often supports people dealing with issues that affect identity and relationships, including concerns common in LGBT communities and feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and jealousy. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at making complicated feelings easier to talk about.

She keeps sessions collaborative and practical. Abneet uses clear tools to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to reduce anxious thinking and improve emotional regulation.

Her work also incorporates client-centered methods and solution-focused techniques to prioritize a person’s goals. That means sessions often focus on what the client wants to change now and on small steps toward that change. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Abneet has six years of clinical experience and holds a California LMFT credential. She aims to provide an affirming space for people navigating identity, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, immigration-related strain, infidelity, or struggles with obsession and compulsion. The approach is adaptable to different challenges and backgrounds.

People who choose her therapy typically find concrete strategies and a steady presence while they work through painful emotions. Readers who are weighing options should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. If something doesn’t fit, the plan can be adjusted over time so the work stays useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, practice skills in real life between sessions, and use brief meetings for focused problem-solving. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the specific options available when you book so you know how sessions will be delivered.
