About Keith

Dr. Keith Breiman helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career questions, and feelings of guilt, shame, and loneliness. He has worked in clinical settings for decades and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions.

Dr. Breiman is licensed as an LCSW and practices from New Jersey. Sessions can use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs.

He focuses on understanding what is happening now while also looking at patterns from the past that shape current behavior.

Background and approach

Conversations are guided by what the client wants to change. He listens for strengths and habits that get in the way, then tries simple strategies to test what helps. His work draws on client-centered ideas that prioritize the client's goals and experience, along with cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions.

Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring relationship patterns and old emotional themes. Clients can expect straightforward discussion about what is hard and what matters to them.

Sessions often mix talking, reflection, and practical exercises to try between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Across 42 years of practice, he has adapted methods to fit each person’s needs instead of using one fixed method.

That flexibility helps tailor work to stress, career concerns, relationship struggles, and the isolation that often accompanies them.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

The client-centered approach focuses on the person's goals and experience, giving them space to describe what matters most and guiding sessions around their priorities. This helps when someone wants practical, goal-driven conversations rather than a fixed program.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and work-related patterns because it produces clear steps clients can try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Short breathing and awareness exercises can be used during a check-in or assigned as brief daily practice to ease anxiety and loneliness.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is observed. That means therapy can shift over time from reflection to skill-building or back again.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or following up after a session. These options increase flexibility and make regular contact more practical for many people.
