Richard Reihing, LPCC

Richard Reihing is an Ohio LPCC with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, addiction, grief, bipolar concerns, stress, and burnout from caregiving or first responder roles.

He uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment-informed and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, rehearsing different responses, and building clearer communication skills. The aim is to develop concrete strategies to manage symptoms and everyday stressors.

Richard also draws on experience from his time as a firefighter/paramedic to understand the pressures faced by first responders. He uses that background to frame conversations about occupational stress, compassion fatigue, and trauma reactions in straightforward terms. He offers a strengths-based orientation and pays attention to how past attachment experiences affect present relationships.

In session he listens for patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Then he and the client try new ways of responding, step by step. He blends client-centered listening with action-oriented exercises so progress can be tracked and adjusted.

Clients who choose him will find short, practical interventions alongside longer work on relationships, communication, and recovery from traumatic events. He works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
