About Richard
Richard Jenkins is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of clinical experience working with adults. He focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and LGBT-related concerns. He works with young adults facing the pressures of early independence and identity.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through current problems and build practical skills. Sessions often focus on managing anxious thoughts, improving everyday routines, and handling transitions like leaving home or starting a first job. He also supports people working through setbacks related to relationships and comparison with peers.
Richard pays attention to how a person's background and experiences shape their present struggles. He offers straightforward strategies for dealing with low mood, social withdrawal, and damaged self-image. Conversations can include looking at patterns in relationships and practicing clearer communication.
For clients with concerns linked to sexuality or gender, he takes an affirming stance and addresses related stressors such as discrimination or coming out. He also has experience with issues that sometimes accompany these concerns, like substance use and family of origin problems.
His work with young adults often combines short-term practical goals and longer-term skill building. People can expect focused sessions that aim to improve day-to-day functioning, restore confidence, and help make decisions about work, study, or relationships.
Approaches you might use together online
Richard works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that increase anxiety and low mood; it helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding. Another approach teaches behavioral strategies such as activity planning, sleep and routine work, and graded exposure to feared situations; these techniques help rebuild confidence and reduce avoidance.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that match what you want to work on. He adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
