About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Faustman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience who uses a direct, active, and goal-focused style to help people move past anxiety, anger, depression, shame, or whatever is keeping them stuck. He frames work around practical questions that clarify priorities and barriers, and he guides clients toward measurable progress rather than prolonged uncertainty.

His process highlights four core questions - what a person is trying to achieve, what they are trying to preserve, what they are trying to avoid, and what they are trying to eliminate - to illuminate how thoughts, choices, actions, and outcomes interact. Exploring those dynamics helps reveal personal strengths and the tools already available to each client, while centering values as a compass for change.

He tailors evidence-based treatments to fit individual strengths and goals, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method for relational work, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are selected and combined with the practical aim of helping clients overcome core fears and reach their objectives.

Geoffrey emphasizes efficient, results-oriented care and works toward outcomes that let people step back into life with increased fulfillment. As an LMFT - a licensed therapist trained in marriage and family interventions and individual work - he supports a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career challenges, and men's issues.

Could Virtual Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online actually helps. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - many find that virtual sessions offer meaningful support and progress when paired with licensed professionals who use evidence-based approaches.

One primary benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that best fits their comfort and schedule - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain consistency and momentum in care.

Licensed professionals offer a variety of therapeutic methods and clients can seek a different therapist at any time if they want a different fit. For those weighing options, online therapy can be a practical way to access skilled therapists and pursue goals in a format that works with daily life.
