About Abneet
Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns about self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes and those in LGBTQ+ communities who are exploring identity and gender dysphoria. Abneet writes plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable for someone nervous about starting.
She uses a collaborative, respectful approach. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and building small, practical steps forward. That can mean learning new ways to manage anxious thoughts, practicing skills to cope with mood shifts, or sorting through painful feelings like guilt, shame, or abandonment.
Abneet draws on several clinical methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Those tools are used to set clear goals, try out new behaviors, and reflect on what changes are helpful. Motivational interviewing also appears when people want support making tough decisions or sticking with changes.
Her practice pays attention to cultural context and the specific stresses people face, such as immigration challenges, caregiver strain, money and financial issues, or isolation. Abneet helps people identify values and life purpose while addressing practical problems like impulsivity, infidelity fallout, or obsessive behaviors.
With six years of experience as an LMFT in California, she aims to create an affirming, nonjudgmental space. The work is paced to each person, and she encourages clients to try approaches that fit their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. A therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person make choices that match their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage mood and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abneet will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who need to use less visual bandwidth or who prefer to focus on exercises and homework between meetings. The goal is to make therapy practical and workable for everyday life while using approaches like CBT and mindfulness to address stress, mood, identity questions, and financial worries.
