About Neil Steinert

Neil Steinert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings more than a decade of clinical experience to his practice. He works with people facing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, polyamory and non-monogamy, confidence and gender-related issues, parenting struggles, habitual patterns, PTSD and trauma, and anger management. He emphasizes a collaborative approach that highlights each person's existing strengths while introducing practical tools tailored to individual goals.

His clinical work draws on well-established methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based ideas, and elements of positive psychology. He also incorporates techniques from solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, choosing interventions that fit the needs of the person in therapy. He is an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and works affirmatively with gender and sexual diversity. He has also expressed support for the careful, supervised use of plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin as part of broader conversations about treatment options.

Born and raised in Utah, he relocated to New Jersey in 1999, where he completed his university education, started a family, and has lived since. He has personal experience with divorce and brings that perspective to work with clients navigating separation and relationship transitions. Outside of his professional life he enjoys vegetarian cooking, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring local restaurants. He encourages a collaborative working relationship and focuses on practical strategies that help people move forward.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. Online formats can support meaningful progress using evidence-based approaches while allowing therapists and clients to work together from different locations.

One of the clearest advantages of remote therapy is flexibility. Individuals can choose the communication method that fits their routines and comfort level - whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.

Licensed professionals offer care through these remote options, and many therapists are open to adjusting approaches to suit each person's preferences and goals. If the initial match does not feel right, clients generally have the option to explore a different therapist to find the best fit for their needs.
