About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Owen centers his practice on cognitive and experiential methods, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of his primary tools to help people understand and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He combines CBT with client-centered values and other modalities to address anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and a broad range of relationship and intimacy concerns. With an emphasis on practical, didactic interventions, he aims to equip clients with skills that can be applied to everyday challenges.
Jeff is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and 45 years of clinical experience. His early work included supporting Vietnam combat veterans with severe post-traumatic stress, and over the decades he has worked extensively with adults facing addiction recovery and relapse issues, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions.
He studied clinical hypnotherapy in the early 1990s and has integrated those techniques selectively with trauma-focused and cognitive-behavioral approaches. Clients encounter a style grounded in humanistic and Jungian influences, where authenticity, active dialogue, and a respectful therapeutic alliance form the foundation for change.
He describes his practice as eclectic and pragmatic, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life circumstances while encouraging empowerment through understanding and skill development.
Integrating Practical Approaches with Online Care
Jeffrey Owen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors; CBT emphasizes practical skills and homework that can be integrated into day-to-day life. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening, unconditional respect, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and can explore personal goals at their own pace. When appropriate, aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense emotional or relational difficulties.Deciding which approach or combination of approaches is right is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, review how different methods might help, and adjust strategies over time based on progress and preferences. This collaborative planning helps ensure that interventions fit the client’s needs rather than following a rigid protocol.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across time zones and life changes while allowing therapists to use structured techniques, homework, and ongoing dialogue that support recovery and growth.
