About Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a licensed counselor and ordained Lutheran pastor who brings three decades of experience to work with individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges. He holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and his career blends clinical practice with long-standing ministry work that began with parish ministry responsibilities in youth work, Christian education, and pastoral counseling.
His professional trajectory moved from parish ministry into social work in 1995, starting as a family worker in a residential program for hard-to-place juvenile offenders and later providing outpatient services for mental health and substance use concerns. Over the years he has developed particular experience with PTSD recovery and with both victims and offenders of domestic violence and sexual abuse, while also supporting people across the lifespan with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, anger, and a range of mood and life-change issues.
Clinically he favors a largely non-directive stance that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing within a solution-focused, client-centered framework. Spirituality can be woven into sessions to the extent the client wishes, and he has received training in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and spiritual direction. Known for a caring, empathetic listening style, he aims to create a space where difficult topics can be addressed thoughtfully and respectfully.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can manage symptoms like anxiety or depression and develop practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores and strengthens a person’s own motivation for change, often useful for substance use concerns and other situations with ambivalence. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist supports the client’s autonomy and self-directed growth, which can be particularly helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rev. Bischoff works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor techniques or combine approaches in ways that fit the individual’s life and values.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. These formats allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations, fit appointments into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to the online setting.
