Jeffrey Owen , LPCC

Jeffrey Owen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and 45 years of clinical experience. He welcomes the decision to seek help and offers a collaborative partnership aimed at addressing current difficulties and fostering meaningful change. Early in his career he worked with Vietnam combat veterans coping with severe post-traumatic stress, and since then he has focused primarily on adults aged eighteen to eighty-five facing a wide range of emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction recovery and relapse concerns, life-stage transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, geriatric matters, and emotional, physical, and sexual trauma.

In 1992 he completed certification in clinical hypnotherapy and has applied those techniques selectively with trauma-affected clients. His therapeutic foundation is humanistic, shaped by Eriksonian and Jungian perspectives on development, while his practical work is eclectic and pragmatic. Over time his interventions have become more cognitive and didactic, reflecting a belief that clients feel more empowered when they understand the nature of their difficulties. More recently he has emphasized trauma-focused care, creatively combining cognitive-behavioral methods with other modalities to match each client’s unique needs.

Central to his practice is the steady cultivation of a respectful, reliably supportive environment, and an active, authentic therapeutic dialogue that builds rapport and a strong working alliance. He approaches obstacles to change systematically while supporting clients to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.
