About Bradley
Bradley Heidenberg is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem. He also focuses on parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, career shifts, and questions about life purpose.
Bradley uses clear, talk-based sessions that help people notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. He also brings elements of Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, responsibility, and values when life feels uncertain.
In a session he listens for practical steps a person can try between meetings. He helps set small, realistic goals and checks progress together. Conversations often include skill practice for stress management and ways to shift unhelpful thinking.
People who are wrestling with fatherhood questions, loneliness, or the push to find what matters next often work on priorities and decision-making. Bradley supports work on boundaries, self-love, and social anxiety by breaking problems into manageable parts.
He describes clients as the experts on their stories and treats therapy as collaborative problem solving. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first session.
How CBT and Existential work in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means spotting unhelpful beliefs, testing them, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is often used for social anxiety, panic, and persistent negative thinking.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people weigh values and make deliberate decisions when life shifts feel disorienting. This approach can be useful for career change, questions of life purpose, and coping with loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bradley treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods together as sessions progress.
