Jeffrey Sumpolec, LPCC, LPC

Jeffrey Sumpolec is a licensed therapist who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and sexual dysfunction. He brings 22 years of experience and a straightforward, person-centered way of working. He talks with clients about daily problems and practical steps they can try between sessions. The goal is to make change feel usable and realistic in everyday life.

In sessions he helps people spot patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. He uses approaches that emphasize acceptance, present-moment awareness, and exploring attachment and emotions. Conversations often include skill-building for coping with strong moods, reducing avoidance, and improving emotional connection in relationships.

Jeffrey trained and worked in other states before moving to California. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and has spent many years in private practice helping adults with addiction, anger, trauma, and mood disorders. He also offers support around intimacy concerns, sexual addiction, and issues that arise with aging.

His style is calm and focused on the person in front of him rather than on labels. He asks practical questions, sets small goals, and checks what’s working as therapy proceeds. Sessions are intended to fit into a client’s life, with attention to real-world tasks and coping strategies.

Jeffrey provides services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they connect and respond to others. It is useful for intimacy issues, relationship distress, and patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments or behavior changes, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those needs. Decisions about which approaches to use are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for quieter conversations, while others can suit people who prefer not to be on camera; the therapist and client will choose what works best for scheduling and comfort.
