Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff

Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He has three decades of experience combining counseling work with long-standing ministry roles. He began in parish ministry and later moved into social work and clinical counseling, carrying both faith-based and clinical perspectives into his practice.

Over a 30 year career he has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and a range of mood and behavioral concerns. He has worked in residential and outpatient settings and has spent time focused on PTSD recovery and issues related to domestic violence and sexual abuse. His background includes work with juvenile residential programs, substance use services, and pastoral care.

His approach is largely client-centered and non-directive. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques to help people set goals and try practical steps between sessions. He can include spiritual or pastoral perspectives when clients want that dimension addressed, or avoid spiritual material entirely if preferred.

Jeffrey aims to create a calm, empathetic space where people can talk through what matters to them. He listens for what a person wants to change and helps them build small, manageable steps toward those goals. The focus is on measurable actions and clearer choices in day-to-day life.

How online work can use familiar counseling approaches

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the effects of traumatic events. It often uses structured steps to help a person process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. This approach can help with PTSD symptoms, intense anxiety linked to past events, and recovery after abuse.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It combines mindfulness skills with clear values-based goals to help people act differently even when unpleasant feelings remain. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance. The therapist follows the person’s lead and offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own answers. It is often paired with other techniques to make practical plans and choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Because the profile does not list session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten commutes, and offer different ways to connect when meeting in person is difficult. Ask about the formats currently offered to find the best fit for scheduling and comfort.
