Richard Venn, LPCC

Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Ohio with 12 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family strain, trauma, grief, bipolar mood issues, and major life changes.

He focuses on practical, conversational work. Sessions aim to rebuild confidence and motivation while helping people manage intense feelings like anger and resentment. He also supports people facing divorce, separation, drug and alcohol problems, process addictions, and struggles with guilt, shame, or forgiveness.

His approach draws on several psychotherapy methods used in straightforward ways. Richard uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and goals. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and DBT skills appear when learning to steady strong emotions.

Richard describes himself as a non-judgmental Christian who treats people with respect and sensitivity. He adapts the conversation and plan to fit the person in the room while keeping work focused and practical. He encourages small, achievable steps rather than big leaps.

Sessions work toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. People often leave with concrete practices to reduce reactivity, techniques to handle cravings, and ways to rebuild self-worth. He supports clients as they test new behaviors and notice what actually helps.
