About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Faustman is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who uses a direct, active style to help people move past anxiety, stress, anger, depression, and related struggles. He asks clear questions about what clients want to achieve, what they hope to protect, and what they try to avoid.
This practical focus helps people see how thoughts, choices, and behaviors interact in everyday life. He combines several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s strengths and goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in using their values to guide decisions even when feelings are difficult. Geoffrey works with concerns such as relationship trouble, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career stress, and LGBTQ matters.
He also pays attention to issues that commonly affect men and the ways those pressures show up in behavior and relationships. Sessions are aimed at helping people get unstuck and reach goals without staying in therapy longer than needed. He emphasizes practical tools and steady progress rather than open-ended discussion.
Geoffrey has practiced for 11 years and holds licenses as a licensed marriage and family therapist in South Dakota and California. He offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Online approaches that target anxious thoughts and patterns
Geoffrey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress because it builds new habits and coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about life direction.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and focused on real life outcomes.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the methods consistently between appointments.
