Abneet Sohi , LMFT

Abneet Sohi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. With six years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. Her work is informed by a culturally aware, affirming stance that pays particular attention to the needs of LGBTQ clients and those exploring gender-related concerns.

She helps individuals cultivate self-compassion, manage social anxiety, process difficult emotions such as guilt and shame, and build concrete strategies for growth and daily coping. Drawing on evidence-based approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices, she adapts treatment to each person’s goals, identity, and circumstances.

Abneet supports a broad range of challenges including workplace stress, relationship dynamics, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and questions of life purpose and meaning. Her style is collaborative and respectful, aiming to create an affirming environment where people can explore identity, repair relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for personal growth

Abneet uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own capacity for insight and change, which can be especially helpful for exploring identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy is integrated to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotional regulation and coping with intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abneet works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend methods to match each client’s situation and pace.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow sessions from different locations, and can help maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult.
