About Jeffrey
He holds a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and an Ohio LPCC license, and brings 45 years of clinical work to each session. Early in his career he helped Vietnam combat veterans cope with severe post-traumatic stress. Since then he has focused primarily on adults ages 18 to 85 dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, trauma, and life-stage transitions.
He uses a humanistic, client-centered foundation while drawing on cognitive and didactic techniques to help people understand their difficulties. He also incorporates dialectical behavior ideas, Jungian and existential perspectives, and hypnotherapy methods when they fit the person’s needs. His style is eclectic and pragmatic rather than rigid.
Jeffrey emphasizes active therapist involvement and honest dialogue to build a strong working relationship. He aims to identify clear, manageable steps and to confront obstacles directly while preserving respect and acceptance.
People who choose him can expect a therapist who leans toward trauma-focused work when needed, and who adapts methods to each person’s situation. He welcomes working with Service and civilian life concerns among the range of issues he addresses.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard. It helps with issues that need emotional support and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill-building for emotional regulation with acceptance strategies and can help with strong moods and relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, hypnotherapy techniques, or a more client-centered path seems best, and that plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a session during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also lets people keep appointments when they are managing intense feelings or living far from a clinician. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know which ways of meeting are offered and which best suit your schedule and needs.
