Abneet Sohi

Abneet Sohi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also supports people exploring LGBT concerns and questions about life purpose.

Her style is collaborative and person-focused. Sessions often involve talking through what matters now, naming practical goals, and trying small steps that can change daily routines. She uses straightforward techniques to help people manage distress and make decisions when they feel stuck.

Abneet draws on several evidence-based approaches. She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different beliefs in real life. Mindfulness techniques help with feeling overwhelmed and staying present.

She also integrates motivational interviewing to clarify values and strengthen motivation for change. Solution-focused tools are used when people want short-term plans and measurable steps. Together these methods are aimed at practical progress rather than abstract theory.

Abneet frequently addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, guilt, shame, and isolation. She helps with caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, gender dysphoria, and relationship hurts such as infidelity or jealousy. Financial worries and obsessive-compulsive patterns are also part of her work.

Clients can expect a steady, plainspoken approach that focuses on what they want to change next. She helps people test small changes and track what works, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Abneet commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to a person’s concerns and shaping the conversation around their perspective. This helps clarify what matters most and keeps sessions grounded in the client’s goals. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive patterns.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build simple practices for staying present and managing overwhelming emotion. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing reactivity and improving focus during stressful periods. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try one method, and adjust based on what fits their needs and preferences.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to practice skills in everyday contexts and to bring real-life situations directly into sessions for problem solving.
