About Richard

LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Ohio with 12 years of experience, Richard Venn focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. He also works with mood disorders, bipolar, process addictions, and issues such as divorce, infidelity, guilt, and men’s concerns. Sessions are described as conversational and client-centered, using evidence-based methods to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and stressful life changes.

Richard uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of automatic responses. These approaches aim to be practical and skills-focused so people can use them between sessions.

In session, the style is direct and respectful. Conversations focus on concrete problems and clear goals. He works with clients to set short-term steps and to practice skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or cravings.

Richard has helped people recover motivation and rebuild self-respect after setbacks and life transitions. He offers strategies for coping with addiction, managing conflict, and handling grief or traumatic memories. Therapeutic work includes cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, emotion regulation training, and mindfulness practice.

People starting therapy are asked to describe their main concern and current goals. The first meetings clarify what matters most and how progress will be tracked. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than getting stuck on painful thoughts. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, and some addiction-related habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your concerns, try different techniques, and adjust methods to fit your goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on priorities and simple skills to test whether an approach feels helpful.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid travel time. Therapists can assign between-session exercises, review practice work, and use guided mindfulness or skills coaching that translate to everyday life. These practical benefits make it possible to practice new habits in the settings where problems occur.
