About
About Richard
Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with 12 years of experience. He works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, bipolar mood issues, and life changes.
He helps people restore self-confidence and motivation. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong feelings and making steady changes. Conversation is direct and respectful, with attention to what matters most to the client.
Richard uses several evidence-informed methods to guide the work. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and DBT strategies are taught for managing intense emotions and urges.
He also brings a client-centered stance, listening for each person's priorities and working from there. For people dealing with addiction, divorce, infidelity, or process compulsions, sessions combine symptom-focused skills with problem-solving about daily routines and relationships.
Richard describes himself as a non-judgmental Christian and aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. Practical planning and steady follow-up are part of how he works, with attention to realistic steps clients can use between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps in that direction while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anger that comes from feeling stuck or values being compromised. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for breaking patterns of reactive thinking that feed irritability and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to notice urges and bodily tension before they escalate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That decision is reviewed over time so techniques can be adjusted if they are not helping.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time, which makes it easier to keep steady appointments. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief strategy review will do, or for audio-only sessions when video is not feasible. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other options are available.
