About Jeff
Jeff Hartwig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, self-esteem, career transitions, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD. He also focuses on life purpose, men's issues, and veteran and armed forces concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Dutch.
Jeff began his career counseling youth in public school districts after earning a master’s degree in Educational Counseling from Azusa Pacific University. He later returned to Azusa Pacific to complete his LPCC credential. Early work involved supporting students facing parental conflict, ADHD and social anxiety, plus sport performance issues.
Over time Jeff shifted to working with adults across several fields, including entertainment, medical settings, social services, and military backgrounds. He helps people develop practical coping skills and clearer insight into recurring problems. He has supported clients dealing with PTSD, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and loss.
In sessions he listens without judgment and focuses on concrete strategies clients can use between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify patterns and test small changes that may reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. He has also worked with athletes to strengthen mental focus.
Jeff describes the work as standing shoulder to shoulder with clients when they need an attentive ear. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s online flow.
How CBT and Solution-Focused work in online sessions
Jeff frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on small, achievable changes and on building what already works. This approach is useful when someone wants focused steps toward clear goals like improving daily routines or making a career decision.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can change as progress is made or new concerns appear.
