About Abneet

Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She works with people facing life changes and supports those navigating LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria. Her tone is compassionate and direct, aimed at people who need practical help now.

She uses straightforward conversations to clarify what feels most urgent and what small steps could help. Sessions focus on building tools for coping with emotional pain, reducing overwhelming thoughts, and strengthening self-directed change. Abneet emphasizes listening first and shaping strategies around each person's needs.

Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. She also uses client-centered approaches and solution-focused techniques to keep therapy grounded and actionable. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck and are ready to explore change.

Abneet has six years of clinical experience as an LMFT in California. That experience includes supporting people through workplace stress, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and recovery from difficult past events. Her approach is culturally informed and aims to respect diverse backgrounds.

People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear goals, tries different approaches when needed, and checks in on progress. Those interested should be prepared to talk about current struggles and practical next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps build trust and clarity about goals, especially when someone is unsure where to start. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and can help reduce rumination and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with supportive listening, adding CBT tools for managing symptoms, or practicing brief mindfulness exercises together.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue work with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state when that aligns with licensing rules and the therapist's practice.
