About Richard

Richard Jenkins is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. He also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, self-esteem struggles, and related emotional challenges.

He focuses on what shows up in day-to-day life. Sessions often cover how past family roles and expectations affect current relationships and choices. He talks through communication, guilt, shame, and how people cope when plans or relationships change.

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical steps. He helps people notice patterns from the family they grew up in and consider different ways of responding. Sessions include setting manageable goals and practicing new skills between meetings.

He also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, substance use, and aging-related questions. Richard addresses issues linked to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and forgiveness when clients bring them up.

Language offered is English and services are provided to people in Ohio. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Richard works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves structured conversations and skill practice to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This method breaks problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to try new responses and track progress.

Another approach emphasizes looking at how early family roles shape current behavior. That work helps people recognize repeated patterns and consider different ways of relating and communicating. It can be useful for people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, or guilt and shame.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the flexibility of remote work to match session length and timing to everyday life.
