About Jeffrey
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. He brings 30 years of combined counseling and ministry experience to his work.
His background includes pastoral roles and long-term clinical work with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. He began in parish ministry and moved into social work in 1995, working in residential care and outpatient settings. That history means he has long experience with trauma, domestic violence, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
He also has experience helping people through grief, life transitions, and mood disorders including bipolar issues. Jeffrey uses straightforward, conversational sessions. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing inside a client-centered, solution-focused frame.
That means sessions often focus on clear goals, practical skills, and the client’s priorities rather than a strict manualized program. Spiritual life is something he can include when clients want it. He has a background as an ordained Lutheran pastor and training in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and spiritual direction, so discussions of faith or meaning are available but never required.
Parents looking for help with stress, parenting strain, anger, or behavior concerns may find his practical, calm style useful. He listens closely, helps set realistic steps, and works with each person’s values and goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Jeffrey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills and behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, background, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, goal tracking, or when jotting down thoughts between sessions. These formats make it possible to keep consistent care while balancing parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
