Richard Venn, LPCC

Richard Venn is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 12 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and grief. He also focuses on mood disorders, bipolar issues, and life transitions such as divorce and separation.

Richard uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings, and on noticing what gets in the way of change. He draws from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive and behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed work to help with emotion regulation and coping.

His style is person-centered in that the client's experience guides the pace and focus. That means listening first, then offering techniques or exercises that fit daily life. For people dealing with addictions, shame, or infidelity, he includes direct work on behavior patterns and impulse control.

Richard also supports those dealing with grief, forgiveness, guilt, and questions about life purpose. He incorporates DBT skills when strong emotions or relationship conflict make steady progress hard. The approach aims to reduce overwhelm and increase small, manageable changes.

Sessions are practical and paced to your needs. He accepts international clients and works in English. If you want to explore whether his approach fits, start by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
