About Richard
Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. Richard lists a focus on men's issues and on problems like divorce, infidelity, guilt, and process addictions.
Richard works in a direct and respectful way. He describes himself as non-judgmental and faith-informed, and he adapts conversations to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, building motivation and clearer choices. He aims to help clients regain confidence and move toward goals that matter to them.
His approach combines several evidence-based methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are woven in for emotion regulation and staying present. Client-centered work keeps the person's experience central during the process.
With 12 years of clinical experience, Richard has worked with a wide range of concerns connected to mood, behavior, and relationships. He emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and he supports clients through setbacks as part of change.
For people considering therapy, he encourages a collaborative plan. Conversations start with the struggles most pressing to the client, then focus on small, realistic steps forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and aims to make sessions feel tolerable and respectful while decisions about goals come from the client. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress and feedback guide the work. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and offer a way to keep regular check-ins during life transitions. It can also allow for shorter phone check-ins when schedules are tight, or video sessions when a fuller conversation is helpful. Ask about format options when scheduling so sessions match your routine and goals.Areas of expertise
