About Ron

Ron Neufeld is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of relationship and personal issues. He brings 20 years of professional experience to sessions and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can be heard. He explains options plainly and helps each person find a practical way forward.

In the room he listens more than he lectures.

Background and approach

Conversations are shaped around what matters to the client. He tailors sessions and the plan to the person's situation rather than using a single fixed method. Many people leave a session feeling understood and with a small next step to try.

Ron uses several approaches to match different needs. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address painful patterns in close relationships and EMDR when trauma memories need processing. His practice covers common concerns like anxiety, depression, parenting and grief, plus issues such as addiction, stress, attention concerns, and caregiving strain. He also addresses attachment, blended family dynamics, adoption or foster care questions, and aging-related matters.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.

Therapy approaches and what online sessions look like

Ron combines a few core approaches to match different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, which helps when someone needs a safe place to talk and sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and change the painful cycles that happen in close relationships so connections feel safer and more satisfying.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ron discusses options with each person and helps decide what to try first based on goals, comfort, and what has or hasn't helped before. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life changes, and keep conversations going between meetings when appropriate. Video and phone let people speak in real time, while chat and text can help when shorter, more frequent check-ins are useful. Licensed professionals tailor the format to what will support each person's goals and daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
