About Jeffrey
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He has worked in counseling and ministry for decades and brings that combined experience to meetings with individuals. He listens with care and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
He began in parish ministry and moved into social work and outpatient mental health. His background includes work with youth, people facing substance use challenges, survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and those recovering from trauma. Over thirty years he has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and life transitions.
His style is mostly non-directive, which means he follows the client’s lead while offering practical tools. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing inside a client-centered, solution-focused framework. Spirituality can be included when a person wants it, or left aside when they do not.
Sessions typically involve talking through current concerns, identifying small changes, and practicing new ways of responding to stress and panic. He also works on issues like parenting, relationships, grief, and career questions. The focus is on clear steps the client can try between meetings.
People who prefer a calm, patient listener and practical strategies may find his approach useful. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and schedule selection are used so people can book time that fits their needs.
Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help when anxiety or panic lead to avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead so they can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest techniques from these approaches. Sessions can shift over time as needs and goals change so clients get a tailored mix of strategies.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for fitting counseling into a busy schedule, shortening travel time, or having a brief check-in during a work break. Online work also makes it easier to try techniques between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion during sessions.
