About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a long history helping adults work through painful life moments. He welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and offers steady, respectful support while you figure out next steps. He combines clear guidance with a human, down-to-earth manner to help people regain a sense of control and purpose.
Jeff has 45 years of experience working with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, grief, addiction recovery and relapse, and trauma. Early in his career he helped Vietnam combat veterans cope with severe post-traumatic stress. Over time he has worked with a wide range of adult concerns including LGBTQ+ issues, geriatric questions, and difficult life-stage transitions.
He trained in clinical hypnotherapy and has used those techniques with carefully screened clients who struggled with trauma-related issues. His style draws on humanistic values and the ideas of Erikson and Jung, while remaining eclectic and practical in session. He tends toward cognitive, didactic interventions when people want concrete explanations and tools.
In recent years he has focused more on trauma-related care and creative combinations of cognitive-behavioral strategies with other approaches. He emphasizes an active, authentic therapist role and aims to build a strong working alliance early on. The work often moves from establishing safety to addressing specific goals and obstacles.
Jeff encourages people to take the first steps even when that feels risky. He aims to support and empower clients as they work through losses, relationship strain, addictive patterns, responses to crisis, and other sources of distress.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, accepting atmosphere where people can talk through their concerns and find their own solutions. It helps with emotional pain, decision-making, and rebuilding trust in oneself.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training and coaching to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It is useful when emotional swings and high stress interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize supportive listening, cognitive tools, DBT skills, hypnotherapy elements, or a mix of methods in ongoing care.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, allow brief check-ins between obligations, or let someone choose whether they prefer video or audio contact. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so the work is practical and focused on the issues you bring.
