About Richard
Richard Reihing is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Background and approach
He aims for practical, understandable work that people can use day to day. In session he listens first and helps people name what feels most urgent.
He uses approaches such as the Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address communication problems, attachment concerns, and intense emotions. Therapy often includes skills practice, clearer communication, and steps to manage stress and mood.
Richard draws on real-world experience as a former firefighter and paramedic to relate to first responder issues and the strain of high-stress jobs. He also helps with grief, midlife transitions, men's issues, and the fallout from infidelity or separation.
Work with him typically focuses on concrete changes rather than long lists of theory. Sessions move at a practical pace.
He supports people working through low self-esteem, guilt and shame, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, and burnout from caregiving or frontline work. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day coping.
Richard offers counseling in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
Remote approaches for relationships and stress
Richard commonly draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships; this approach emphasizes specific interaction skills and practical exercises to rebuild connection. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape adult relationships and patterns, helping people understand clinginess, avoidance, or trust issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist pick tools together and focus on what feels most useful in daily life.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is hard, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports short updates or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work after major life events.
