About Richard
Richard Reihing is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 14 years of experience. He focuses on practical, goal-oriented work to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. He writes in straightforward language and aims to make therapy easy to understand for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Richard combines respectful listening with active approaches that help people change patterns that cause distress. Sessions tend to focus on things people can try between meetings, such as new ways of thinking and small behavior changes.
Background and approach
He also draws on methods that address emotional bonds and intense reactions when those are part of the problem. Before becoming a counselor, he served as a firefighter and paramedic. That background shapes how he understands difficult, high-stress work and the impact it can have over time.
It also informs his interest in first responder issues and compassion fatigue. In the therapy room, Richard keeps language plain and steps measured. He helps people name what they are facing, sort priorities, and practice skills that reduce overwhelm.
He works with concerns such as addiction, relationship pain, grief, OCD patterns, and life transitions. Richard holds an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and works with adults in Ohio. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Attachment-based work looks at how early emotional bonds shape adult reactions and relationships. It helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment, connection, or patterns that repeat in close relationships.Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person decide the next steps at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and small practice tasks to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up, and adjustments happen together in session.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing prompts or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep a steady routine.
