Jeffrey Owen , LPCC

Jeffrey Owen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and 45 years of clinical experience. He began his career assisting Vietnam combat veterans with severe post-traumatic stress and has since focused primarily on adults between eighteen and eighty-five who face a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. His practice has included work with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse, life-stage transitions, LGBTQ issues, geriatric concerns, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.

In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has incorporated those techniques selectively with carefully screened trauma survivors. Over decades of practice his style has blended humanistic, cognitive, and didactic elements - emphasizing clear explanations so people understand the nature and implications of their difficulties. Influences from Eriksonian and Jungian perspectives inform his outlook on human development, while an eclectic and pragmatic stance guides interventions tailored to each person’s unique needs.

He places high value on creating a reliably supportive therapeutic space marked by respect and acceptance, and he favors active, authentic dialogue that builds a strong working alliance. In recent years his work has become increasingly trauma-focused, combining cognitive-behavioral strategies with other modalities when appropriate. Throughout his career he has aimed to help individuals move through distress, develop coping skills, and pursue meaningful change with resilience and insight.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online and Remote Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and unconditional acceptance, offering a collaborative space where people explore their feelings and values to build self-understanding and resilience. It is often helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-transition concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many coping challenges because it targets the thoughts and actions that maintain distress.

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, reduce distressing symptoms, and access resources for recovery. In Jeffrey Owen's work this approach has been applied selectively with carefully screened trauma survivors and people seeking adjunctive tools for symptom relief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeffrey Owen works with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a treatment plan that may blend methods to best support progress. The therapist and client decide together what fits at each stage.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care across time zones and life schedules. These options support continuity of treatment, quicker check-ins when issues arise, and the ability to receive therapeutic support from home or while traveling, all while working with licensed professionals to address meaningful concerns.
