About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Faustman is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on clear, goal-minded work to help people move past what holds them back. He talks directly about what a person wants to achieve, what they hope to keep, and what they are trying to avoid. That simple map helps guide practical steps toward relief from depression, anxiety, anger, shame, or feeling stuck.

He frames therapy around values and strengths. Sessions look at thoughts, choices, and actions to see how they shape real outcomes. Geoffrey uses tools that match a person's abilities and goals so work in therapy feels active and useful rather than endless.

His approach draws on evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and he blends techniques to fit each person's situation. He aims to help people meet their goals and step back into life, not stay in therapy indefinitely.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Geoffrey brings steady, task-focused guidance for common life struggles. He helps people manage stress, relationship challenges, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and career decisions.

Geoffrey practices in South Dakota and sees clients in English. He works with individuals concerned about intimacy, LGBT issues, family-related stress, men’s issues, and other personal challenges. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How ACT and CBT guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small steps that align with what matters to them, which can ease depression and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, useful for mood and stress concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Geoffrey will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, strengths, and preferences, and adjust those methods as progress is made. He looks for practical changes the client can practice between sessions so therapy fits into real life.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and reduces the need to be on camera, depending on the chosen format. Talk with Geoffrey during the matching process to find session arrangements that suit daily routines and therapy goals.
