About Heath
Heath Ridenbaugh, LPCC, meets people facing anger, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He writes directly and listens first. He acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out and focuses on practical steps to make everyday life feel calmer and more manageable.
He favors a person-centered style that puts the client's priorities front and center. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also draws on solution-focused work to build clear, short-term goals that lead to quick, usable change.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Expect to talk through specific problems, try short exercises, and plan simple real-world steps between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are offered when they fit a client's needs and pace.
He brings three years of post-licensure experience as an Ohio LPCC. That background includes helping people who struggle with anger control, substance use concerns, family conflict, and mood problems. He keeps the tone friendly and nonjudgmental while staying focused on what will help most right now.
Clients who choose this approach often want clear tools they can use outside sessions. Heath aims to empower people to recognize patterns, practice new behaviors, and track progress. If someone prefers a calm, goal-oriented counselor who listens first, this approach may feel like a good match.

How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through anger or life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions use simple exercises and homework to test new ideas and change day-to-day reactions to stress and anger. Solution-focused therapy narrows attention to practical steps and small goals, which can bring quick momentum when someone wants fast, usable tools.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful and combine methods to match needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between meetings. These options help people make steady progress without major travel or scheduling hurdles.
