About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 45 years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency concerns.
He began his career helping Vietnam combat veterans cope with severe post-traumatic stress and has since worked mainly with adults ages eighteen to eighty-five. His clinical background includes long experience with addiction recovery and relapse, LGBTQ concerns, geriatric issues, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.
In the 1980s he studied regression therapy and later received certification in clinical hypnotherapy in 1992. He uses hypnotherapy selectively after careful screening and combines it with other methods when appropriate.
Jeff draws on humanistic ideas influenced by Erikson and Jung while using practical cognitive and didactic techniques. Over time his practice has become more trauma-focused, blending cognitive-behavioral tools and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills where they fit the client's needs.
Sessions emphasize active dialogue and clear explanations of problems and strategies. He aims to build a working alliance quickly and then address obstacles, goal by goal, with pragmatic, flexible interventions informed by decades of clinical experience.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clear feedback, and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions can still follow that pattern with active dialogue and attention to what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online work can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step skill practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Its skills-based exercises can be taught and practiced in remote sessions in the same way they are taught in person.
Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with a client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust techniques as needed over time.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time while keeping focused work on coping, boundaries, and codependency-related challenges.
