Jeffrey Owen , LPCC

Jeffrey Owen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 45 years of clinical experience. He has extensive early experience helping Vietnam combat veterans manage severe post-traumatic stress and, over decades, has focused primarily on working with adults ages eighteen to eighty-five facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. His practice has addressed depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse, difficult life-stage transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, geriatric issues, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.

In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques selectively with carefully screened trauma survivors. His therapeutic approach emphasizes creating a reliably supportive healing space grounded in unequivocal respect and unconditional acceptance. He values an active, authentic dialogue and believes therapist participation and clarity help clients feel empowered as they learn about the nature and implications of their difficulties.

Jeffrey blends humanistic foundations with pragmatic, evidence-informed methods, drawing on influences from Eriksonian and Jungian perspectives while remaining eclectic and flexible in practice. Over the past decade his work with people in extreme crisis has led to a trauma-focused orientation that often integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies with other modalities to meet each person’s unique needs. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to confront obstacles and pursue meaningful, sustainable change.

Approaches that guide online care and healing

Jeffrey Owen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and hypnotherapy into an online practice that aims to meet practical needs while addressing deeper concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental support so individuals can explore their feelings and values at their own pace - this approach is often helpful for relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. It offers practical skills that can be practiced between sessions to support recovery and coping.

Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help access resources for managing trauma-related reactions, cravings, or persistent emotional patterns; it is applied selectively with carefully screened clients.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Jeffrey works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors a plan that may combine methods over time to address evolving concerns.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from in-person services. These formats let licensed professionals and therapists provide consistent care, help maintain progress between appointments, and make it easier to access support when life circumstances change.
