About Richard

Richard Jenkins is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 10 years of practice. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. He also offers support around LGBT issues and self-esteem concerns.

Richard uses approaches that rely on evidence and practical techniques. In sessions he helps people name what feels hard, try new ways of coping, and practice clearer communication. He aims for straightforward, useful steps rather than jargon or long lectures.

Clients often seek him out for relationship transitions, including divorce and separation, adjustments to aging, and struggles tied to family history. He also addresses body image, caregiving stress, and substance use concerns when these come up alongside mood and anxiety problems.

Richard places emphasis on the person’s lived experience and cultural background. He listens for how discrimination or past hurts shape current patterns and then works with the person to build small, manageable changes. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client.

People who prefer practical tools and clear goals tend to fit well with his style. He supports exploration of identity, forgiveness work, and rebuilding routines after life disruptions. To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling when they reach out.

Approaches and online care that focus on practical change

Richard works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear, usable skills. One approach involves teaching coping and emotion-regulation skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress, using step-by-step practice so people can apply tools between sessions. Another common focus is brief communication skills training to help with clearer boundaries, better conversations, and managing conflict during life transitions like separation or divorce.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients help guide what feels most useful and when to try different techniques.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let someone continue steady support while navigating a move or a major life change. Always check format, scheduling, and any technical needs when arranging sessions.
