About Jeff
Jeff Rhein focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, and related concerns. He is a licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC, who draws on practical skills to help people find clearer steps forward. Jeff's tone is straightforward and steady, aimed at parents who want usable guidance rather than jargon.
He earned a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling from Wright State University in 2000 and began his career in crisis counseling at a county jail.
Background and approach
That early work shaped his ability to stay calm in tense situations and to prioritize safety and practical problem solving. Much of his work has been in outpatient settings helping people with general mental health and substance use issues. He has also been part of crisis response teams providing prehospital screening and has led trainings on crisis intervention and motivational interviewing.
Jeff has supervised clinicians for 17 years and has taught crisis intervention at the graduate level. That supervisory and teaching experience influences how he structures sessions and how he coaches others to handle difficult moments. In sessions he uses common-sense tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work.
Those methods are used to build coping skills, reduce distressing symptoms, and set clear, achievable goals that fit each person's life.
Approaches that translate to online care
Jeff often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing actions that keep problems going - it helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood issues. Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change, which is useful for addictions and ambivalence about new habits.Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is made. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day life and what actually feels doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they provide ways to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these tools to teach coping skills, run brief behavioral exercises, and keep regular contact while working toward clear goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
