About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Sumpolec is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California with 22 years of experience. He mainly sees adults and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns. His approach emphasizes looking at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect in daily life.
Jeffrey uses a mix of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions focus on naming and tracking emotions, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. He leans on straightforward talk and practical steps you can try between meetings.
People who come for help might work on managing intense moods, reducing avoidant behaviors, improving closeness with others, or coping with major life changes. He also addresses issues such as obsessive thoughts, phobias, sexual concerns, grief, guilt, and compassion fatigue. The work can include short skills practice, reflection on patterns, and goal-focused planning.
Jeffrey relocated to California after many years in private practice elsewhere. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This helps match needs and preferences before the first meeting.
How Jeffrey blends EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and patterns between people. It can help when feelings are hard to name and when relationship or attachment patterns keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, even when emotions are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will collaborate with each person to decide which elements make the most sense based on goals and what feels helpful. That might mean leaning into EFT for relationship and emotion work, using ACT to build willingness around difficult feelings, or drawing on attachment ideas to understand pattern origins.
