Abneet Sohi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She supports clients facing life transitions, identity questions, and challenges related to LGBT and gender dysphoria. Her style aims to be calm, straightforward, and respectful.

Background and approach
Many sessions focus on small, achievable steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Abneet uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new responses. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep work grounded in the client’s goals.
Motivational interviewing can be brought in when people want help finding momentum for change. Her experience includes addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and stress that comes from caregiving or immigration-related challenges. She also supports people working through jealousy, infidelity, money worries, and questions about life purpose.
Based in California, Abneet brings six years of clinical work to her practice as a CA LMFT. Sessions are offered in English and arranged through an online matching process. She aims to create an affirming, practical space where clients can make steady progress toward clearer, more manageable daily life.
How Abneet Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client says matters most, which is useful for identity work and building self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood. It pairs thought work with practical behavior changes and can help with obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and mood shifts.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention skills that reduce reactivity to stress. Practicing brief awareness exercises can help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to make steady choices in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used for deeper skill work and conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief homework support. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while using approaches like CBT and mindfulness in flexible ways.
