About Jared
Dr. Jared Gorfinkel is an Oregon psychologist with seven years of clinical experience. He helps people with LGBT concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns listed in his profile. He works in English and practices in Oregon under the credential OR Psychologist 3476.
Dr. Gorfinkel aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what feels most pressing and focuses on clear steps that can be tried between meetings. Conversations cover thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and include skill practice when that fits the issue at hand.
His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and on cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice their internal experience. He also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer-term work to track recurring patterns and relationships.
Typical topics include identity and gender-related concerns, intimacy and attachment questions, burnout or compassion fatigue, and the ripple effects of chronic illness or pain. He also addresses concerns around kink and alternative sexual cultures in a nonjudgmental, direct way.
Sessions move at a steady, practical pace. Dr. Gorfinkel helps people set small, concrete goals and checks progress each week. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Gorfinkel uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the client in the moment, helping people shape sessions around their immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or depression, with practical exercises to try between meetings. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and reduce reactivity.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way rather than prescribing a single path upfront.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or other formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, attend from a quieter place, or avoid needing to travel to an office.
