About Richard
Richard Reihing is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings 14 years of clinical experience to short-term struggles and long-term challenges. He focuses on making therapy direct and understandable for people under stress.
Richard uses Narrative Therapy as a core approach, helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. He connects that work to everyday problems like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship troubles, and addiction. He also draws on methods that focus on emotions, behavior, and attachment patterns when those fit a person's needs.
Background and approach
Clients may come with trauma or abuse, compassion fatigue, or first responder stress. Richard has lived experience as a firefighter and paramedic, which informs his understanding of high-stress roles. He also addresses concerns like self-esteem, obsessive thoughts, bipolar mood concerns, and midlife questions.
Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking. Conversations often include identifying patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building small routines to reduce overwhelm. The tone is straightforward and respectful, with space for strong emotions.
Richard offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He works in English and practices across a range of life challenges rather than focusing on diagnosis or labels. To begin, a short matching process is used so scheduling can follow what works best for the person.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work translate to online care
Richard uses Narrative Therapy to help people revisit and reframe the stories that shape their choices. That approach looks at the meanings people give events and asks what alternative stories might open up different actions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior, which can help with relationship stress, abandonment concerns, and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Richard works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs and goals, and he adjusts the mix of narrative, attachment work, or client-centered conversation as progress is made. The plan is shaped by the client's priorities and reviewed over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or tracking small changes between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
