About Jeff
Jeff Rhein is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, grief, anger, or major life changes. He also supports those facing issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.
He trained at Wright State University and earned a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling in 2000. Early work included crisis counseling in a county jail and participation on crisis response teams doing prehospital screening.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped a direct, practical approach to immediate concerns. Much of his clinical work has been in outpatient settings where he treated mental health and substance use concerns. He has spent 17 years supervising other clinicians and has taught crisis intervention at the graduate level.
He has also led trainings on crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, and clinical supervision. In sessions he uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. He aims for short, understandable steps people can try between meetings.
The focus is on what helps in day-to-day life. Clients can expect a conversational style that balances practical tools with reflection. He pays attention to cultural context and issues like guilt, shame, and career stress.
Jeff works from Ohio and conducts sessions in English.
How practical approaches meet online therapy
Jeff uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and mood challenges because it breaks problems into small, testable steps.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore ambivalence and find reasons to change. This approach can be especially helpful for drug and alcohol concerns or when motivation feels low because it focuses on a person’s own goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what actually helps. Treatment is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences guide which tools are used.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for detailed conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can use less bandwidth and work well for longer check-ins. Live chat and text let people fit short sessions into busy days and keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to use therapy in the context of work, family, or irregular schedules.
