LMFT in California - Stress and LGBTQ concerns

  • Guilt and shame
  • CBT and mindfulness
  • Solution-focused goals

About Abneet

Abneet Sohi is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions, and she lists LGBT concerns and issues of guilt and shame among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward, conversational sessions to help people talk through hard feelings. Sessions often center on what is happening now and what small changes could ease daily strain. She helps clients name painful emotions like guilt, shame, or isolation and looks at how those feelings affect everyday choices.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. That means she listens for each person’s experience, helps identify thinking patterns that keep distress going, and teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity.

She also uses solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to set clear, manageable goals. Those methods are useful when someone wants short-term steps to handle stress, move through a change, or weigh options after a difficult event.

People who come for help with attachment wounds, caregiver stress, immigration-related pressures, or questions around gender and identity will find these topics included in her stated focus areas. She works collaboratively and offers practical skills alongside emotional processing.

Sessions are conducted in English in California, and international clients are not accepted. Cost varies with location and uses a cancel-anytime subscription model. To begin, a matching questionnaire is completed before scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and uses practical exercises to test and change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and notice emotions as they arise.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods feel most useful, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. That means plans can shift over time to match what’s helping in day-to-day life.

This profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical, or let someone use audio-only if bandwidth is limited. The focus is on making therapy doable within everyday routines while applying the therapist’s client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness tools.
