About Abneet
Abneet Sohi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses life purpose and a range of related worries such as attachment struggles, guilt and shame, isolation, and financial stress.
She favors plain conversation and practical steps in sessions. Abneet uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage intense emotions and reduce rumination.
People meet her to talk through transitions at work or in relationships, to process feelings after loss or betrayal, or to work on identity and gender concerns. She also supports those dealing with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and mood shifts. Sessions aim to break overwhelming problems into manageable actions and experiments.
Abneet incorporates motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people need clearer goals or a push to change habits. She helps clients set small, practical steps and track progress over time. The focus is on what clients want next, not on labels.
Her approach is culturally aware and attentive to LGBTQ+ experiences. Abneet encourages straightforward conversations about values, priorities, and the everyday barriers that keep people stuck. To begin, she asks a few questions about current concerns and what a meaningful next step would look like.
How her approaches translate to online work
Abneet draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters most to each person, offering open listening and reflection to clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different actions, which lends itself to concrete between-session tasks. Mindfulness therapy provides short practices to reduce rumination and manage intense feelings in the moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as clients try techniques and notice what helps.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into daily life. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises between meetings. She will talk through which formats and tools match your routine and aims.
