01About Jeff
Jeff Hartwig uses clear, practical therapy approaches to help people manage stress and emotional struggle. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to identify unhelpful patterns and build workable skills. Jeff holds an LPCC, which is the California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential listed in his background.
He began his career counseling youth in public school districts. That early work focused on parental conflict, ADHD, social anxiety, impulsive behavior, and sports performance.
Background and approach
That experience shaped how he listens and responds to direct concerns. Today he helps adults develop coping skills for anxiety, anger, depression, PTSD, grief, and trauma. He has worked with people from the entertainment industry, medical fields, social services, and the military.
He also has experience supporting athletes who want to strengthen mental focus. Jeff favors a nonjudgmental style. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with attention to what the person needs right now.
He aims to stand shoulder to shoulder with clients as they work through change. He earned a Master’s degree in Educational Counseling from Azusa Pacific University and later completed the LPCC credential at the same school. Across 12 years of practice he emphasizes listening, simple tools, and steady support as people move toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

04Online support
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Jeff primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches step-by-step techniques to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on what works now to move a person toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current concerns, talk about goals, and suggest which methods to try first. Together they can adjust the plan as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone calls can be a quicker check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are handy for short updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
