About Richard
Richard Jenkins is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports people coping with life changes and those in the LGBT community, and lists guilt and shame among his focus areas.
Jenkins uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through painful feelings and confusing situations. Sessions typically involve practical conversation about what is happening now, learning ways to respond differently, and trying small changes between appointments. He emphasizes clear communication and workable steps rather than jargon or long lectures.
People contact him for help with relationship problems, family of origin issues, addiction concerns, and transitions such as divorce or caregiving stress. He also works with concerns tied to body image, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and aging-related challenges. These topics often overlap with guilt and shame, and he addresses them directly in session.
His style is straightforward and focused on collaboration. He helps clients name patterns, weigh options, and practice new responses that fit daily life. For many, that practical focus makes it easier to manage difficult emotions between sessions.

Evidence-based approaches for online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real-life evidence; this helps with anxiety, self-criticism, and persistent guilt. Another approach involves skill-building for emotion regulation and communication, which helps people manage strong feelings and repair strained relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and which methods feel workable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what actually helps in daily life.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking using the online therapy options button and the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can still use many of the same evidence-based methods in remote sessions, and he will help choose a way of working that fits your schedule and needs.
