About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 45 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns. He works with people who are dealing with life changes, intimacy problems, parenting strain, and issues that trace back to early family roles and patterns.
He began his work with combat veterans managing severe post-traumatic stress and has spent decades working primarily with adults aged eighteen to eighty-five. His practice includes support for addiction recovery and relapse issues, LGBTQ concerns, geriatric matters, and a range of trauma-related difficulties. He also lists family-of-origin related issues such as attachment problems, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family stress among his focus areas.
Jeff uses a mix of approaches informed by humanistic, Eriksonian, and Jungian perspectives. Over time his style became more cognitive and instructional, helping people understand the patterns that keep them stuck and what helps shift them. He has integrated cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies when clients face intense dysregulation or crisis.
In the early 1990s he studied clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques selectively with screened clients who needed regression or trauma-focused work. His background includes long experience with crisis intervention and creative blending of methods for complex problems.
Sessions focus on clear dialogue, active therapist participation, and practical steps toward specific goals. He works collaboratively to identify recurring family patterns, communication problems, and coping strategies so clients can make measurable changes in everyday life.
How Jeff uses CBT, DBT and client-centered work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and making sure the client feels respected. It helps people reflect on their feelings and decide on personal goals while the therapist stays engaged and genuine.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to test and change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that tie back to family patterns or life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when strong emotions, impulsive behavior, or relationship volatility are part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different strategies together. That collaborative process helps decide whether more cognitive skill-building, DBT techniques, or a client-centered tone fits best.
