About Jeff
Jeff Rhein is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience working in mental health and addiction settings.
Background and approach
He brings a background in rehabilitation counseling, having completed a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling at Wright State University in 2000, and began his career providing crisis counseling in a county jail.
Over time he moved into outpatient practice addressing mood disorders, substance use, anxiety, grief, relationship and career concerns, and related issues such as guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue. Much of his work has involved crisis response and prehospital screening as part of crisis teams, plus facilitation of trainings in crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, and clinical supervision.
He has 17 years of experience supervising other clinicians and has taught crisis intervention at the graduate level. Jeff uses evidence-informed tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build practical skills and make measurable changes.
Jeff offers a straightforward, skills-oriented approach that blends practical coaching with clinical care. He aims to tailor interventions to the individual’s circumstances and preferences, helping people manage stress, navigate life changes, and address addictive behaviors while building coping resources for long-term resilience.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Jeff commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with more adaptive patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation for addressing substance use, health goals, or other behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused work to fit the person. That collaborative effort helps determine which tools to emphasize and how to pace the work together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to attend regular appointments around work and family commitments, try brief check-ins between sessions, and access therapeutic guidance from home or other convenient locations.
