About Neil

Neil Steinert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. He combines practical therapy models with a focus on relationships, identity, and life transitions, supporting people who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and a broad range of intimacy and sexual-health topics.

He works with people across the LGBT community and has experience with consensual kink, BDSM, polyamory, and non-monogamous relationship structures. His clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing, applied in ways that highlight a person’s existing strengths and teach new coping skills. He also speaks openly about appropriate therapeutic uses of plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin.

Originally from Utah, he moved to New Jersey in 1999 for university, where he later raised a family. He has personal experience with divorce and brings that perspective to work around separation, blended-family issues, and family-of-origin concerns. Outside of practice, he enjoys vegetarian cooking, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring local cuisine. As an LCSW - a licensed professional trained in clinical social work - he integrates clinical training with lived experience to support clients through change and healing.

Attachment, Cognitive Techniques, and Mindfulness in Online Care

Neil draws from attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections - this approach helps when intimacy, commitment, or family-of-origin issues are central concerns. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical method often applied to anxiety, depression, and habit change. Mindfulness therapy is integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills, useful for coping with overwhelming emotions and improving emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Neil and each client work together to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor interventions from these models so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel, and maintain continuity during life changes. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across different settings and circumstances.
