About Richard
Richard Venn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 12 years of experience helping people cope with anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and build more steady moods and healthier habits.
He approaches sessions without judgment and with respect. He brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that, but adapts to each person's needs and values.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what is most urgent for the person in front of him. Richard uses a mix of evidence-informed techniques. That includes cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
He also draws on mindfulness skills to help people tolerate strong feelings and make different choices in the moment. He works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life transitions such as divorce and separation. He also supports men working through shame, guilt, and questions about life purpose.
His approach aims to rebuild self-worth while addressing concrete problems that cause daily stress. In sessions clients practice new skills, try small behavior changes, and review what works. Richard emphasizes collaboration - setting clear goals and adjusting the plan when needed.
He helps people take manageable steps toward calmer reactions and more satisfying routines.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people move toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior that fuel anger, anxiety, and addictive habits. It is practical and homework-friendly, useful for people who want concrete tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, challenges, and preferences. This means trying options, checking what helps, and shifting strategies when something isn’t working.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are handy for quick check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and for people who live outside the therapist’s state.
