Richard Jenkins is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address day-to-day struggles. He focuses on practical skills such as improving communication, managing intense emotions, and building coping strategies for stressful moments. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what works in everyday life.
He has experience helping people affected by aging and geriatric questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. He also supports those managing addiction issues, family of origin wounds, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Richard pays attention to how prejudice and identity stress affect mental health. He helps people process gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and challenges tied to being LGBT. That work includes practical steps for handling discrimination and strengthening self-acceptance.
People who want clear, structured sessions may find his style helpful. He uses techniques drawn from evidence-based practice and adapts them to the client’s goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to produce practical changes. One common approach focuses on teaching skills to manage anxious thoughts and bodily responses. This involves noticing unhelpful patterns, practicing new responses, and applying those skills to real situations such as speaking up or meeting new people.Another approach centers on behavioral experiments and gradual exposure to feared social situations. Sessions work through small, manageable steps that let people test predictions and build confidence over time. This can help reduce avoidance and make social tasks feel more doable.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps the client reach their goals and preferences. Clients are invited to guide the pace and focus of work.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and let people use skills between sessions in real life. Talk to the therapist about practical arrangements and any adjustments needed to make sessions useful.
