About Jeffrey
Jeffrey (Jeff) Cohen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and intimacy-related concerns as well as self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, career and depression.
Jeff draws on long clinical experience that began in residential treatment settings. He has also worked with military personnel and veterans and brings that perspective into sessions when relevant. He recognizes that people come from many cultural, faith and value backgrounds and treats those differences as part of the work.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try practical changes that affect mood and behavior. He combines that with motivational interviewing when people are weighing change and solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals.
Jeff favors a relaxed and light style in conversation and uses active listening to make sure clients feel heard. He encourages clients to set their own goals and takes a practical orientation toward achieving them. He believes problems can lead to growth, even when change feels uncomfortable.
People often come to him when life transitions are overwhelming - leaving home, job stress, relationships or grief. He aims to offer guidance and support as clients take the next steps toward the changes they want.
How his main approaches guide online work
Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes that affect mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and relationship patterns.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are weighing change. That approach focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and resolving mixed feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool he uses to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress in concrete steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means checking what feels useful, adjusting methods, and agreeing on small measurable steps together.
