Jeffrey Laspina, LCPC, LPC

Jeffrey Laspina is a licensed counselor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps so people can start feeling steadier in day-to-day life.

He uses clear, structured methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related models. Sessions typically focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and building skills that make daily tasks easier. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small committed actions.

Jeffrey earned his master’s degree from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and completed a student internship at Renewing Life Center. He holds LCPC and LPC credentials and has worked in clinical and community settings for eight years supporting people with addiction, phase-of-life struggles, and interpersonal problems.

Outside clinical hours he has experience as a mentor and chaplain, and he has worked with community organizations offering emotional support. That background informs a straightforward, values-aware approach aimed at helping people move past rough spots toward a healthier tomorrow.

In sessions he emphasizes honesty, ethics, and practical problem solving. People can expect a collaborative conversation, goal-focused planning, and follow-up steps to try between meetings.

CBT and ACT approaches for online care

Jeffrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks challenges into manageable pieces so people can practice clearer thinking and different actions between sessions.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT can help with long-term goals like building meaning, reducing avoidance, and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, and then recommend ways of working together. Plans are adjusted over time based on how a person responds and what feels useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
