Jeffrey Owen, LPCC

Jeffrey Owen is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and 45 years of experience helping adults navigate difficult life challenges. He began his career supporting Vietnam combat veterans with severe post-traumatic stress and has since focused primarily on working with adults ages 18 to 85 confronting depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse, life-stage transitions, LGBTQ issues, geriatric concerns, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma. He also addresses a wide range of related concerns including relationship and family difficulties, parenting, intimacy and attachment issues, caregiver stress, and coping with sudden or large-scale loss.

In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has since integrated hypnotherapy into his work with carefully screened trauma survivors. His practice blends a humanistic, client-centered foundation with increasingly cognitive and didactic interventions, reflecting influences from Eriksonian and Jungian perspectives on development. Over decades of practice he has adopted an eclectic, pragmatic, and flexible stance, becoming more trauma-focused and creative in combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with other modalities when clients require tailored approaches.

Jeffrey places high priority on creating a reliably supportive healing space built on respect and acceptance, fostering active dialogue and therapist authenticity to build a strong therapeutic alliance. He emphasizes helping clients understand the nature of their difficulties so they feel empowered to pursue meaningful change.
