About Keith
Dr. Keith Breiman helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, career decisions, and the pain of guilt or isolation. He has four decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and uses that background to guide straightforward conversations and practical steps.
His approach is warm and attentive and aimed at making progress from the first sessions. He prefers to meet people where they are and pay close attention to what is happening in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and finding small, usable changes. He invites clients to talk through what matters most and then works collaboratively to set realistic goals. Dr.
Breiman blends several ways of working rather than relying on a single method. He draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in each person's experience. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives also shape his practice, helping people notice recurring feelings and the memories that feed them. Over time that mix helps people gain clearer self-awareness and practical coping skills. He practices from New Jersey and conducts sessions in English.
With a long career behind him, he aims for calm, clear conversations and useful tools that fit daily life.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around a person's experience. Online meetings allow the therapist to remain focused on what the client brings and adjust pacing, tone, and topics in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through exercises and homework. In remote sessions that can mean reviewing worksheets, practicing techniques between meetings, and checking progress by phone or text.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That can mean mixing listening-focused client-centered work with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness practices as needed.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well on short breaks. Live chat or messaging supports quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress.
