Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff, LPC, LPCC

About Jeffrey

Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with three decades of practice. He combines clinical training with years of pastoral work to help people navigate stress, parenting challenges, and major life changes.

He works from Ohio and brings long experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. He started in ministry as an ordained Lutheran pastor in 1989, then moved into social work and outpatient counseling in 1995.

Background and approach

That work included residential care for adolescents and later roles addressing mental health and substance use. Over the years he has provided care for people across a wide range of difficulties, including PTSD recovery, domestic violence, and sexual abuse survivors and offenders. His style is steady and conversational.

He listens with empathy and avoids pushing preset solutions. Sessions often focus on clear, manageable steps that connect what matters to everyday life. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused and Client-Centered approaches.

Spirituality can be part of sessions when clients want it, or it can remain outside the work if preferred. People meet him and find practical guidance for things like parenting stress, anger, grief, or mood concerns. He aims for straightforward plans clients can try between sessions and then review together.

Jeffrey holds LPC and LPCC credentials and brings 30 years of practice in Ohio. He offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and communication styles.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters, while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on increasing a person’s own motivation to make changes by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then pick techniques from these approaches that fit the situation. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what proves useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. These formats let people work around school, work, and parenting demands, and allow follow-up between meetings when useful. Licensed professionals can use these options to continue steady therapeutic progress without needing every session in person.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
