Hi, I’m Jeffrey Thoelen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy at Soul Sessions Counseling Company, in New Jersey. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University and have spent the past several years helping adults navigate anxiety, OCD, and other life challenges. My path into the therapy field grew from a deep sense of service that my parents instilled in me from an early age. They taught me that helping others is one of the most meaningful things we can do in life. That belief continues to guide my work today and is at the heart of why I became a therapist. I specialize in working with adults ages 19 to 35 who are navigating anxiety, OCD symptoms, and who could use general support for navigating life changes and adjustments. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, rumination, or compulsive behaviors. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. My approach is straightforward, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership.
