About Richard
Richard Reihing is an Ohio licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience. He focuses on creating a respectful, person-centered space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. He aims to listen first and help people find their own next steps.
He draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions grounded in the person's pace and priorities. That approach is combined with methods drawn from attachment work and cognitive behavioral ideas when helpful. Sessions often include practical steps for coping, emotion regulation skills, or clearer ways to communicate with others.
Richard also understands the pressures that come with first responder work, having experience as a firefighter and paramedic. That background informs how he talks about occupational stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue without assuming a single path forward. He works with a wide range of life challenges including grief, addiction concerns, mood struggles like bipolar, and issues around attachment and abandonment.
His style centers on listening, gentle challenge, and helping people build useful habits between sessions. People can expect straightforward language, space to tell their story, and collaboration on goals. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions based on availability.
Richard holds an LPCC, which signals his licensure in Ohio. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.
How client-centered and evidence-informed approaches translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping people feel understood and supported when they talk about stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship trouble. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and can be useful when trust, abandonment, or communication patterns cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps people can practice, which helps with mood, anxiety, and compulsive habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as needed rather than prescribing a single path. That conversation happens early and can shift over time based on what helps most.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit tighter schedules, let them have shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep regular work on coping skills between meetings. Online work can also support consistent progress when life changes or commuting make in-person visits difficult. A practical conversation at the start will clarify how to fit therapy into everyday life and what to expect from ongoing sessions.
