About Richard
Richard Reihing is a licensed counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on practical, straightforward therapy. He draws on 14 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse.
He emphasizes a calm, person-centered way of working that puts the client's goals first. Sessions aim to identify small, usable changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Richard uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral work and attachment-informed approaches to help people understand patterns and try new responses. His background includes years as a firefighter/paramedic, which informs his understanding of first responder issues and compassion fatigue. That real-world experience helps him relate to people who face high-pressure jobs or repeated exposure to trauma.
He brings that perspective into conversations about stress, burnout, and coping strategies. In therapy he blends emotion-focused ideas with practical skills training. People learn to name feelings, shift unhelpful thoughts, and practice new behaviors between sessions.
The approach balances emotional processing with concrete steps to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. Richard works with adults on topics such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, infidelity, midlife questions, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. He explains things plainly and helps set achievable goals so progress feels real and steady.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape adult relationships. It focuses on patterns of closeness and distance, which can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment, and relationship repair.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process means techniques are tailored to what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions fit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, and shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
