About Brian
Brian Sobieski is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, mood changes, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on skills that help day-to-day functioning.
He favors short-term, solution-focused work that looks for changes people can try between sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques are a frequent tool he uses to spot unhelpful thought patterns and change reactions. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm strong feelings and ground attention in the present moment.
Brian also draws on client-centered principles, which means conversations aim to reflect what matters most to the individual. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants support finding motivation to change habits or take next steps. The overall approach emphasizes clear strategies and steady skill-building rather than long, open-ended therapy.
He has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, impulse control, codependency, and issues around intimacy and communication. He also notes work with veterans and people coping after disasters, among other areas.
Sessions focus on concrete coping tools, improving communication, managing impulsivity and reducing reactive anger. People can expect straightforward guidance, practical exercises, and planning for real-life situations where anger or frustration tends to show up.
How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In remote sessions this means conversations that prioritize the client's goals and practical problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and works on changing patterns that lead to anger or anxiety. CBT is useful for managing impulses, panic, and mood shifts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. He will collaborate with the client to decide whether brief, solution-focused work, CBT techniques, or more mindfulness practice fits best. That decision is based on the individual's goals, current challenges, and what they prefer to try.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try exercises together during the appointment and apply new coping skills to real-life moments soon after the session.
