About

Geoffrey Faustman takes a direct, active, and goal-focused approach to help people move past anxiety, anger, depression, shame, or whatever is leaving them feeling stuck. He works with clients to clarify practical questions that shape change: 1) What are you trying to achieve? 2) What are you trying to preserve? 3) What are you trying to avoid? and 4) What are you trying to eliminate? By examining these areas he highlights the sometimes-complex ways thoughts, choices, actions, and outcomes interact.

He supports clients in building self-understanding, using personal strengths and available tools, and letting values guide decisions so they can progress toward a more fulfilled version of themselves. Treatment plans draw on a mix of evidence-based methods that are tailored to each person’s resources and goals.

His approach includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely used method that can address a range of problems and levels of distress. Geoffrey aims to help people meet their goals and return to living life fully rather than remain in therapy indefinitely.

Geoffrey Faustman is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both South Dakota and California and has 11 years of clinical experience. He practices in South Dakota and provides care with a practical, outcome-oriented focus.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be similarly effective to traditional in-person sessions for most cases.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life.

Each therapist available through online services is a licensed professional, and if someone prefers a different therapeutic fit they can choose to switch therapists. Online therapy can provide accessible, practical support for many everyday mental health concerns while offering options that match individual needs and routines.
