About Richard
Richard Reihing is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He brings 14 years of experience to sessions and draws on his background as a firefighter/paramedic to relate to first responder concerns and high-stress work situations.
He centers sessions on the person in front of him, listening first and helping clients name the problems that matter most. Richard mixes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns, build coping skills, and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and step-by-step work on problems like grief, addictions, compulsions, and low self-esteem. He also addresses issues common in midlife, men's wellbeing, relationship conflict, and concerns tied to divorce or separation. His style aims to be supportive while encouraging concrete change.
Richard uses examples from real life to make therapy relatable and practical. He helps people set clear goals and practices tools between sessions to reinforce progress. The first meetings typically focus on understanding history, current struggles, and what success would look like for each person.
Over time he works with clients to reduce symptoms, improve communication, and develop healthier routines. People with veteran or armed forces backgrounds and those facing compassion fatigue or first responder stress often find the combined life and clinical experience relevant.
How particular approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulty forming close bonds by exploring interaction patterns and building safer ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find they can practice homework and coping techniques between sessions more readily when therapy fits their routine.
