About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 45 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. He supports people through difficult life changes and the practical challenges they bring.
He began his work helping Vietnam combat veterans with severe post-traumatic stress. Over decades he has focused on adults between 18 and 85 dealing with mood disorders, addiction recovery and relapse issues, LGBTQ+ matters, geriatric concerns, and various forms of trauma. In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques with carefully screened trauma survivors.
His practice emphasizes active therapist involvement and clear, direct conversation. He favors cognitive, didactic interventions so clients understand what they are working on and why. He draws on humanistic, Eriksonian, and Jungian ideas while remaining eclectic and pragmatic in treatment choices.
In recent years he has concentrated more on trauma-focused work and on combining cognitive-behavioral strategies with other approaches when a client’s needs call for it. He aims to identify obstacles, set concrete goals, and use practical methods to address them. His work often looks at patterns of control, communication, and attachment that affect anger, relationships, and coping.
Jeffrey encourages clients who are ready to take steps toward change. He partners with people to confront problems, reduce harmful patterns, and build clearer ways of managing strong emotions and stressful situations.
How his approaches are used for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood while they work through anger, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful responses to triggers.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are a central problem.
Finding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and help decide whether CBT, DBT, Client-Centered work, hypnotherapy, or a mix is most useful. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list formats.
