About Jeff

Jeff Hartwig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who focuses on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He uses a calm, nonjudgmental style and listens first to understand what each person is facing. Conversations are practical and direct, aimed at building useful coping skills and clearer thinking.

He began his counseling work in public schools after earning a Master of Arts in Educational Counseling from Azusa Pacific University. That early experience involved supporting young people with parental conflict, ADHD and social anxiety, and later informed his work with adults. Jeff returned to Azusa Pacific to complete his LPCC credential and transitioned into adult clinical work.

Over a dozen years he has worked with people across many fields, including entertainment, medical settings, social services, and the military. He has helped clients manage PTSD symptoms, anger, depression, and the fallout from loss. He has also supported athletes who wanted to strengthen mental focus.

His sessions blend practical techniques with clear goals. He helps people name specific problems, practice new responses, and track progress over time. He describes his role as standing shoulder to shoulder with someone who needs a nonjudgmental listener.

Jeff pays attention to life purpose and men’s issues alongside common concerns like career stress and relationship strain. He speaks English and Dutch and counsels from California. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How Jeff Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Online

Jeff commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can test small changes and notice results. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and concentrates on practical steps people can try right away to move toward what they want instead of only examining the problem.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss which methods fit your goals, and adjust plans as you progress. Clients and the therapist set clear, achievable steps together and review what is working over time.
