About Jeffrey Owen
Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 45 years of experience and a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. He affirms the decision to seek help and welcomes the opportunity to partner with people as they work to overcome current challenges, bringing decades of experience to support meaningful progress.
Early in his career he helped Vietnam combat veterans cope with severe post-traumatic stress, and since then he has focused primarily on adults between eighteen and eighty-five confronting a wide range of emotional difficulties. His practice has addressed depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse prevention, life-stage transitions, LGBTQ issues, geriatric concerns, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.
In 1992 he earned certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques selectively with carefully screened clients experiencing trauma-related problems. His work emphasizes creation of a reliably supportive healing environment marked by respect and acceptance, and he values an active, authentic therapeutic dialogue. Once rapport is established he collaborates with clients to build an alliance and to confront and systematically address obstacles to specific goals.
Over time his style has grown more cognitive and didactic, reflecting his belief that people feel more empowered when they understand their difficulties. Grounded in humanistic philosophy and influenced by Eriksonian and Jungian views of development, his practice is eclectic, pragmatic, and flexible. In recent years he has focused more explicitly on trauma, combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with other modalities to meet each client’s distinct needs, and he offers support and encouragement to those ready to take steps toward change.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and an authentic therapeutic relationship that helps people explore values, identity, and self-worth. This approach supports those facing life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional distress by prioritizing understanding and collaboration.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and coping with stressful situations, helping clients build concrete strategies they can apply between sessions.
Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to explore memories, modify reactions, and support symptom relief; when applied by trained professionals it can complement other therapies for trauma-related difficulties and habit-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeffrey Owen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor treatment plans and adjust techniques as progress unfolds, encouraging client input at every step.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during major life changes. These options expand access and allow therapists and clients to work together consistently, even when in-person meetings are not possible.
