About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 45 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma and LGBTQ+ issues. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related problems and career and parenting stress.
He began his work helping Vietnam combat veterans manage severe post-traumatic stress. Over decades he has focused mainly on adults ages eighteen to eighty-five. His background includes long experience with addiction recovery and relapse issues, geriatric concerns, and recovery from emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.
In 1992 he completed a certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has used hypnotherapy selectively with carefully screened clients who have trauma-related problems. More recently he has combined cognitive-behavioral methods with other approaches to address people in extreme crisis. He describes his practice as pragmatic and flexible, drawing on CBT, client-centered ideas, DBT skills, existential questions, and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Jeff prefers an active, didactic style that helps clients understand their patterns and options. He focuses on building rapport and then working toward concrete goals. Sessions typically include discussion of unhelpful thoughts and habits, problem-solving, and practice of new coping strategies.
He views the therapeutic relationship as central and aims for clear, direct dialogue. People who want structured, practical work on specific symptoms or life changes may find his approach a good fit.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Jeffrey Owen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines; CBT focuses on practical exercises, short-term skill building, and tracking progress over time. Client-Centered Therapy plays a role in his work by keeping the conversation focused on the client's experience and priorities, allowing the person to direct which problems to tackle. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods as needed. This collaborative stance means techniques can be combined or shifted based on what proves useful in early sessions.
