Jeff Rhein, LPCC

Jeff Rhein helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also supports those facing grief, career shifts, relationship strain, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Jeff identifies practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel more steady day to day.

He trained at Wright State University and earned a Master of Rehabilitation Counseling in 2000. His early work was in crisis counseling at a county jail, and he later joined crisis response teams doing prehospital screening. Those front-line experiences shaped a calm, problem-focused style.

Most of his clinical time has been in outpatient care working with people managing mental health and substance use issues. He has also spent many years supervising other clinicians and teaching crisis intervention at the graduate level. That background feeds into clear, organized sessions that emphasize skill building.

Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central approach and blends mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often involve setting small goals, trying behavioral experiments, and noticing thoughts that get in the way.

People who come to Jeff will find a straightforward, steady practitioner who prioritizes workable tools. He aims to help clients make measurable change and regain a sense of control over daily life.

CBT and Mindfulness in Online Care

Jeff often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change how they act in response. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts so clients can try small experiments, track results, and learn what works for them.

He also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, panic, and mood swings. Mindfulness focuses on noticing sensations and thoughts without jumping to action, which can make daily stress easier to manage.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, then adjust methods as work progresses. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face work on skills and behavioral experiments. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping work focused on real-world change.
