About Jeff
Jeff Rhein is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addictions. He also supports those facing grief, career questions, mood disorders, and challenges with self-esteem. His straightforward style focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
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 led to roles on crisis response teams and outpatient clinics, where he worked with people dealing with mental health and substance use concerns. For many years he has run trainings on crisis intervention and motivational interviewing. He has also supervised clinicians for 17 years and teaches crisis intervention at the graduate level.
That mix of hands-on work, teaching, and supervision informs how he organizes sessions. In sessions he tends to use goal-oriented methods that break problems into manageable steps. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thinking and behavior.
He adds mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions without reacting immediately. He often uses motivational interviewing when people are ambivalent about change, and solution-focused ideas when quick, practical strategies are needed. His approach is direct and collaborative - he helps people set clear goals and track small wins.
Many clients appreciate having actionable tools to use between meetings.

Approaches that translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive ones. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks, mood concerns, and anger because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice feelings as they arise without immediate reactivity. Those techniques can reduce emotional escalation and help with stress, panic, and compassion fatigue.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be especially helpful for substance use, ambivalence about treatment, and readiness for new coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what’s been tried before, then adapt methods to fit a person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for visual connection and fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while using the same CBT, mindfulness, and motivational tools as in-person care.
