See online therapy optionsAbout Jeffrey
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 30 years of clinical experience. He blends counseling and pastoring experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and parenting concerns. Jeffrey also works with issues such as anger, grief, intimacy problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and career strain.
Before moving into long-term counseling, he served as an ordained Lutheran pastor and worked in youth ministry and pastoral counseling. He later moved into social work and roles supporting residential and outpatient treatment for people with mental health and substance use concerns. That mix of ministry and clinical practice informs how he listens and talks with clients.
His in-session style is typically non-directive and conversational. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods to set practical steps and build momentum.
Clients can choose how much, if any, spirituality is part of the work. Jeffrey will include spiritual topics when a person wants that dimension, and leave them out when they do not. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term strategies, and regular review of progress.
He has experience supporting people affected by PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other trauma-related problems. Jeffrey aims to help clients find manageable ways to cope, make changes, and address the problems that brought them to counseling.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people track thoughts, notice patterns, and try small experiments to change behaviors and mood. It is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, and managing impulsive reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing internal experiences and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with stress, life changes, and feelings of emptiness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client guides the pace and focus of sessions.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Jeffrey will review goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to emphasize. That means sessions can combine CBT techniques, ACT ideas, and client-centered listening as needed to address practical problems and short-term goals.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone speak without being on camera. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help integrate therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
