Jeffrey Owen , LPCC

Jeffrey Owen supports individuals who decide to reach out for help and welcomes the opportunity to partner with them in addressing current challenges. He brings 45 years of clinical experience to that work and approaches each case with a blend of empathy, practical skill, and respect for the client’s capacity to change.

He is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio and holds a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. His earliest professional work involved helping Vietnam combat veterans cope with severe post-traumatic stress, and over the decades he has focused primarily on adults between eighteen and eighty-five facing a wide range of emotional difficulties. His practice has included treatment for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse concerns, life-stage transitions, LGBTQ+ matters, geriatric issues, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.

In 1992 he studied and received certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques with carefully screened trauma survivors. His therapeutic foundation is humanistic, influenced by Eriksonian and Jungian views of development, and he emphasizes an active, authentic dialogue with clients. Over time he has become more cognitive and didactic in his interventions, believing people gain power when they understand their difficulties. Eclectic, pragmatic, and trauma-focused when needed, he combines cognitive-behavioral methods and other modalities to address the unique needs of each person. He encourages the courageous steps clients take toward change and offers support and empowerment throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Jeffrey Owen integrates several well-established approaches in his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience directs the pace and goals of treatment - it is helpful for building self-understanding, processing life transitions, and strengthening emotional resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Clinical hypnotherapy, for which he received certification in 1992, can be used as a focused adjunct to address trauma-related symptoms and to support coping strategies when clients are appropriately screened and prepared.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeffrey Owen works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and mixes modalities as appropriate to support progress. He emphasizes client participation and clear explanation so people understand the rationale behind interventions.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for those whose schedules, travel, or health needs make in-person visits difficult. These formats allow ongoing therapeutic contact, timely coping support, and continuity of care from licensed professionals regardless of geographic distance.
