About Brian
Brian Sobieski is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 25 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship friction, parenting strain, anger, and related life changes. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long explanations.
He uses short-term, goal-focused work when that fits the situation. That often means solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral tools to strengthen day-to-day coping. He also draws on client-centered principles to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of him.
Brian spent his training at Montclair State University where he earned a master’s degree in counseling. Over decades in practice he has worked with individuals, couples, and with issues tied to trauma, grief, and career stress. That background informs how he helps clients spot patterns and try different responses.
In a typical session he will help identify one or two manageable goals and suggest practical exercises to try between meetings. Expect straightforward feedback, behavioral strategies, and moments of reflection aimed at reducing reactivity and improving communication.
He also brings techniques useful for people dealing with ADHD, codependency, impulsivity, and problems rooted in family of origin. Those topics are treated with the same brief, action-oriented focus used across his work.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session get the process started. Costs vary by location and are managed on a cancelable subscription model.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience in the moment and keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to them. That approach helps clarify goals and priorities during remote sessions and supports steady planning for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to test new behaviors. In an online setting CBT can include homework, thought records, and concrete behavior experiments to try between meetings.
Mindfulness practices teach brief attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These practices can be guided during a session and then practiced on one’s own in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on their goals and how they respond. Decisions about pace, homework, and focus are made together so the plan fits practical life demands.
