About Neil
Neil Steinert is an LCSW with 13 years of clinical experience who works with people coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, parenting struggles, and a broad range of life transitions.
Background and approach
He also supports clients navigating LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, stress, career questions, and complex family dynamics. Drawing on practical therapeutic tools, he aims to help clients build on existing strengths while developing new coping strategies.
His practice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed approaches and mindfulness techniques, along with solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Neil emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set concrete goals and try evidence-informed strategies that fit their lives.
He brings lived experience with relationship changes and life adjustments, and he incorporates clients’ values and preferences into treatment planning. Based in New Jersey, Neil accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to increase access.
He invites prospective clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability so they can begin working on the concerns that brought them to therapy.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more effective ways of thinking and behaving; it is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress by providing concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and explores how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy issues, family dynamics, and communication problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity in situations involving grief, trauma, or anger.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt strategies as therapy progresses to better match what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver skill-based work, guided exercises, and regular check-ins in ways that can be convenient and consistent with a client’s lifestyle.
