About Richard
Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps that reduce daily overwhelm and restore motivation so people can move forward with their lives.
He draws on 12 years of counseling experience and combines straightforward talk with listening that shows respect and care. His approach is calm and nonjudgmental, and he adapts sessions to fit each person’s situation and values.
Background and approach
Sessions may include learning skills to manage strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building healthier habits around relationships and substance use. He also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions in ways that aim to be realistic and achievable. Richard integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and a client-centered frame.
That means he helps people notice what matters to them, practice new actions, and handle intense feelings without getting stuck. He makes space for conversations about divorce, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, men’s issues, life purpose, and process addictions like gambling or exercise. The practice welcomes international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and making life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It supports emotion regulation and everyday stress management.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Richard will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the client's needs. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support people who prefer written check-ins, brief coaching, or more flexible communication between sessions.
