Geoffrey Faustman , LMFT

Geoffrey Faustman is an LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who takes a direct, active, and goal-oriented approach to therapy. He helps people find relief from anxiety, anger, depression, shame, and other experiences that lead to feeling stuck. By exploring four practical questions - What are you trying to achieve? What are you trying to preserve? What are you trying to avoid? What are you trying to eliminate? - he helps clarify how thoughts, choices, actions, and outcomes interact in sometimes-complex ways.

Faustman emphasizes self-knowledge and the intentional use of personal strengths and available tools, while encouraging values to guide change. He draws on evidence-based methods that are tailored to each person’s strengths to address core fears and move toward measurable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the key approaches he uses to target patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.

Committed to efficient, goal-driven work, Geoffrey aims to help people accomplish their objectives and step out of therapy when they are ready to live more fully. His style balances practical problem solving with attention to personal values and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Geoffrey Faustman commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and he incorporates the Gottman Method when working on relationship concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to act in alignment with those values, helping with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions that feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress and to build actionable coping skills. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication, increase understanding, and rebuild trust when intimacy or relationship strain is central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoffrey collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Geoffrey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without rearranging life around appointments.
