About Neil
Neil Steinert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience based in New Jersey. He helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, and other life changes. He also supports clients with LGBT and intimacy-related concerns and assists those coping with trauma, grief, parenting stresses, and career or ADHD-related issues.
Neil uses clear, goal-focused work. Sessions look at what is happening now and what practical steps can reduce distress. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based thinking to understand patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
He also borrows from solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing to build momentum and clarify what clients want to change. That often means setting small, achievable goals and revisiting them each week. When anger is a concern, he helps people notice triggers, practice pause-and-plan skills, and test new responses in everyday situations.
Neil identifies as an advocate for LGBTQ+ people and notes experience with non-monogamy and kink-affirming topics. He mentions personal experience with divorce and life in New Jersey, which informs his practical approach. Conversations in sessions aim to be straightforward, respectful, and aimed at usable strategies.
Clients are invited to weigh strengths and tools they already have. The emphasis is on making steady behavior changes, improving communication, and reducing the moments that lead to regretted responses.
How sessions work
How his methods translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape reactions today. Online sessions use conversations and behavioral experiments to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce anger and distance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means noticing thought patterns that fuel irritation and testing alternative ways of thinking. Sessions include homework such as brief experiments and thought records that can be reviewed week to week.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Those techniques can be practiced during short exercises between sessions to make pause-and-plan responses more automatic in moments of rising anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, personality, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative choice is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
