About Jeffrey
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 30 years of experience. He brings both counseling and pastoral backgrounds to his work. He lists common concerns he helps with such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, addictions, and parenting challenges.
Jeffrey began his career in ministry and moved into social work in 1995, working in residential settings and outpatient agencies. That path included work with people struggling with PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and substance use. He has also maintained roles in pastoral care and has training in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction.
His in-session style is largely non-directive. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing inside a Client-Centered, Solution-Focused framework. He explains ideas plainly and helps people identify concrete steps they can try between meetings.
Spiritual topics are included only if the person wants them. He can discuss faith and spiritual meaning, or keep sessions focused on practical coping and behavior change. His background means he is comfortable with both approaches.
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and short-term strategies when helpful, alongside space to talk through deeper patterns. He also assists with relationship concerns, grief, men’s issues, fatherhood concerns, career stress, and questions about life purpose. The practice is based in Ohio and sessions are conducted in English.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them and then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with ongoing anger, anxiety, and life changes by clarifying what matters and shifting attention toward workable actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete skills for managing unhelpful reactions. It is useful for anger, mood problems, and stress by teaching practical techniques to test thoughts and change patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for the person’s pace and goals and provides a steady space to talk through difficult feelings.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on their goals, the issues they bring, and what feels most useful. That decision can change over time as progress and new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists commonly adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to suit remote meetings so sessions stay focused and practical for everyday life.
