About Richard
Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and major life changes. He meets each person with respect and compassion and aims to create a safe space for honest conversation.
He has twelve years of experience working with issues such as bipolar mood concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and problems tied to divorce and separation. People also seek his support for process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography, and for struggles with substance use and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Richard describes his style as nonjudgmental and faith-informed, and he says he will tailor discussions and plans to fit each person’s needs. He uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions, including Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions focus on real-life skills, clearer thinking, and values-based choices.
He aims to help people rebuild confidence, find motivation, and recover a sense of direction. Conversations are straightforward, and action steps are concrete and manageable. Richard encourages people to take small steps toward change and to notice progress along the way.
If someone wants to start, they can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with problem-solving. He supports people who want to address guilt, shame, forgiveness, life purpose, men’s issues, and self-love as part of overall growth.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and moves at the client’s pace, focusing on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and improve mood and functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first and adapting as progress is observed.
