Jeffrey Owen , LPCC

Jeffrey Owen brings 45 years of clinical experience to his work supporting adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. He holds a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and is an LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. His early practice included work with Vietnam combat veterans coping with severe post-traumatic stress, and over the decades he has focused primarily on helping adults ages eighteen to eighty-five with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse, difficult life-stage transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, geriatric matters, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.

In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has integrated those techniques selectively with carefully screened trauma survivors. His therapeutic stance emphasizes creating a reliably supportive healing environment in which clients receive respect and unconditional acceptance. He favors active, authentic dialogue and engages directly with clients while building a collaborative alliance to address specific goals. Over time his interventions have become more cognitive and didactic, reflecting a belief that understanding one’s difficulties can foster empowerment.

Grounded in humanistic philosophy and informed by Eriksonian and Jungian views of development, his practice is eclectic, pragmatic, and flexible. In recent years he has focused more intensively on trauma work and on combining cognitive-behavioral methods with other modalities as each person’s needs require. He encourages those ready to take the first steps toward change and offers steady support throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeffrey Owen uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client's values and experiences guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy and acceptance and can be especially helpful for people seeking support with relationship concerns, identity questions, or processing difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another core approach he uses. CBT involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems, and to build practical coping skills.

He also incorporates hypnotherapy as a specialized tool for appropriate, carefully screened clients, using focused relaxation and guided imagery to address trauma-related patterns and aid in symptom relief when suitable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; he works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these modalities, helping clients access consistent support without unnecessary travel.
