About Jeff
Jeff Rhein is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years working in mental health and addiction settings. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and the impact of substance use. He also supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, career questions, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
He trained at Wright State University and earned a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling in 2000. Early in his career he worked in crisis counseling at a county jail and later joined crisis response teams for prehospital screening. That hands-on crisis work shaped how he responds in high-stress situations.
Most of his clinical experience is in outpatient treatment, where he has seen people with general mental health and substance use concerns. He has focused on drug and alcohol addiction and first responder issues, and he often addresses guilt, shame, panic, and social anxiety in sessions.
For 17 of the last years he has supervised other clinicians and taught graduate-level crisis intervention. He has also led trainings on crisis intervention and motivational interviewing. These roles reflect a long history of mentoring and practical teaching alongside direct care.
In sessions he draws on practical, goal-oriented methods. Conversations tend to focus on clearer thinking, small changes that add up, and steps people can use between appointments. He encourages realistic goals and checks progress as therapy moves forward.
How Jeff Uses Practical Therapies Online
Jeff commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to change mood and anxiety. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps increase motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often start with small goals and adjust based on what works for the individual.
