About Richard
Richard Reihing is an Ohio LPCC with 14 years of clinical experience working with adults. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, grief, relationship problems, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. He also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, and challenges tied to first responder or veteran experience.
Richard uses straightforward talk therapy and established approaches to help people sort through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, naming feelings, and trying new ways of responding. He draws on methods that look at how relationships shape emotion and how thoughts influence behavior.
Before training as a counselor he spent time as a firefighter and paramedic. That background informs his understanding of first responder stresses and burnout. He brings practical experience with coping under pressure and adjusting to career-related losses.
In sessions he leans on client-centered principles to follow a person’s priorities, and on attachment ideas to track how early bonds affect current relationships. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address upsetting thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical skills when emotions feel intense.
People working with him can expect clear, goal-focused conversations about what matters most. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Richard blends relational and skill‑based approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people feel and connect today. It helps when shame, abandonment, or patterns in relationships keep repeating by tracking interaction styles and trying new ways of relating.Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace. It gives space for someone to speak about guilt or shame while the therapist follows what matters most and reflects what is said. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, offering practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy goes on, and he uses tools from different approaches when they seem helpful.

Licensed professionals can adapt sessions to focus on skills practice, emotional processing, or relationship work depending on what a person wants to address.
