Abneet Sohi, LMFT

Affirming, practical therapy for life changes

About Abneet

Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those facing identity questions and concerns related to LGBT issues and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier in daily life. She works by listening first and then building practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Abneet blends talk-based care with tools people can use right away, like shaping daily routines, practicing mindfulness, and testing new ways of thinking. She keeps sessions collaborative and goal-focused so progress is clear.

Her background includes six years in clinical practice in California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. That experience covers mood concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and challenges like abandonment, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

Abneet names guilt, shame, and isolation as common issues she helps address. She also supports people dealing with immigration-related stress, gender dysphoria, infidelity, financial worries, and questions about life purpose.

Methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps to move forward. Sessions aim to balance emotional understanding with clear action.

Abneet encourages short experiments between meetings to try new habits and notice change. Her style is respectful and culturally aware, with attention to each person’s unique story.

How Abneet’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and meeting them where they are; online sessions use that same listening-first stance to build trust and set goals that matter to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes; online meetings make it easy to plan experiments and review results together between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity; simple guided practices can be taught over video or audio and used during daily routines.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn’t. This collaborative stance helps tailor techniques to personal preferences and life demands rather than forcing one fixed method.

Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when video isn’t needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or daily routines.
