About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Riskin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 39 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and related struggles. He also helps with parenting and fatherhood issues and supports people dealing with career strain and compassion fatigue.
His style is straightforward and plain. He spends early sessions getting a clear picture of strengths and struggles. That helps shape simple, practical steps to try between meetings. He avoids jargon and uses clear language about what to practice and why.
Jeffrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches alongside trauma-focused methods. That means sessions may include looking at unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, and addressing traumatic reactions in manageable steps. Work is paced to what the person can do.
Sessions are goal-oriented and skill-based when useful. He mixes talk with concrete exercises, homework, and problem-solving for everyday situations. Clients often leave with specific tools to try in real life.
He has decades of experience working with a wide range of mood, behavioral, and stress-related problems. People who prefer plain, practical guidance and clear steps often find this approach helpful.

How Jeffrey uses CBT, DBT and trauma-focused work online
Jeffrey often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify difficult thought patterns and test small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT breaks problems into clearer parts and gives simple exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, mood, and obsessive worries.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style work focuses on specific skills people can use when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships create stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals and pace, and he adjusts plans as people report what helps and what doesn’t.
