About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Gowing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience who brings a background in psychology and criminal justice to his therapeutic work. He holds graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and emphasizes a collaborative, active approach to change.

Background and approach

Jeffrey frames counseling as a joint commitment that benefits from regular attendance and client engagement, and he guides clients in practical steps that support healing and growth. He draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to explore how thoughts and perceptions shape emotional and physical reactions, and complements that with client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s experience and goals.

His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, career challenges, and LGBT-related matters. Additional focuses include aging and geriatric issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and aspects of BDSM and kink culture.

Based in Michigan and able to work with international clients, he offers services in English and encourages a steady, engaged therapeutic process to achieve meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Jeffrey integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to inform his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can set their own pace for growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to counseling, adjusting methods as progress and needs evolve. The emphasis is on working together to find what helps most for that individual.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy adds flexibility for scheduling and location. These options make it easier to maintain consistent attendance and to integrate therapy into a busy life, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and supportive listening across distance.
