About Richard
Richard Jenkins is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. He also offers support around self-esteem and LGBTQ concerns.
His manner is straightforward and compassionate while keeping sessions focused on practical steps. Jenkins uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations toward clearer thinking and manageable goals. He helps clients break problems into smaller parts and develop simple routines and coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through recent events, trying new ways to respond, and checking what works between appointments. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. Jenkins works with concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, substance issues, and family of origin problems.
He also supports people facing gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS-related stress, aging and geriatric issues, and autism or Asperger syndrome related concerns. Clients can expect a balance of listening and practical suggestions. Jenkins aims to help people build resilience and improve daily functioning.
He emphasizes clear communication and small, achievable changes rather than long lists of abstract goals. His practice is geared toward steady progress over time. People typically leave sessions with one or two concrete actions to try before the next appointment.
Jenkins describes therapy as a collaborative process, where the client’s goals shape each step forward.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable progress. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for coping and emotion regulation, teaching simple tools people can use day to day to manage stress and react differently to triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, he will adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant and practical for the individual.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to suit different situations. Video calls let people use visual feedback during conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can help keep momentum between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while focusing on steady, achievable progress.
