About
About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Sumpolec is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California with 22 years of experience. He mainly sees adults and helps people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns.
He uses a person-centered approach that focuses on strengths and practical solutions. Sessions look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That helps people notice unhelpful patterns that can lead to self-destructive actions or beliefs.
Jeffrey draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. He blends these approaches to match the problem at hand rather than using a single technique every time.
In session he works on real-world skills for managing intense emotions, lowering reactivity, and rebuilding trust in relationships. He also works with people facing life transitions, career stress, compassion fatigue, and a range of sexual and intimacy-related issues.
He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Jeffrey recently moved to California from Virginia and brings two decades of private-practice experience to clients looking for steady, practical work on mood, anger, or relationship patterns.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for chronic worry, avoidance, and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems active. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy addresses how emotions shape interactions and helps people identify and express core feelings to improve relationship responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will discuss these methods with clients and choose which fit the issues, goals, and personal preferences. This decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy when they move or live in another region. The focus remains on practical skills and emotional awareness that translate into everyday life, regardless of how sessions are scheduled.
