About Jeff
Jeff Rhein is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and social anxiety and phobia. He provides practical, direct support for problems like panic attacks, depression, grief, anger, and issues tied to work or relationships.
He trained at Wright State University and earned a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling in 2000. His early work included crisis counseling in a county jail and contributing to crisis response teams that did prehospital screening. That background shaped his focus on clear, problem-focused care.
Most of his clinical work has been in outpatient settings treating both mental health and substance use concerns. He has 17 years of experience supervising other clinicians and has taught crisis intervention at the graduate level. He also has experience facilitating trainings on motivational interviewing and supervision.
In sessions he uses methods that help people change thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and find immediate, doable steps toward their goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to keep sessions grounded and action oriented.
People who come to him often want straightforward strategies for managing panic, reducing avoidance, or addressing substance use and related guilt or shame. He helps clients identify clear next steps, practice skills between meetings, and track progress over time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Jeff often uses cognitive behavioral techniques online to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is good for managing symptoms such as panic, social anxiety and depression by breaking problems into concrete steps.He also uses mindfulness practices to help people learn simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work can make it easier to use CBT skills when anxiety arises. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels hard; it focuses on the person's own reasons for wanting different behavior and helps find the next realistic step.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, and then try methods that fit the client's situation. Adjustments are made based on feedback and progress so the work stays practical.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into your week by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue care while balancing work, training, or family commitments.
