About Richard
Richard Reihing is an Ohio LPCC with 14 years of clinical experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, and stress. He works with individuals who are coping with life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar issues, and concerns tied to first responder experiences.
He centers work on emotions and attachment, and lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among his approaches. Sessions also draw on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and elements of dialectical behavior work. That mix is used to address things like abandonment, communication problems, jealousy, and infidelity.
Richard also brings practical life experience from a background as a firefighter-paramedic. That perspective informs his approach to issues often faced by veterans, first responders, and others who handle high-stress roles. He describes therapy as a collaborative process that looks at patterns in relationships and day-to-day coping.
In session he helps people name difficult emotions and notices the ways those feelings shape behavior and relationships. He works on skills for stress, anxiety, obsessive thinking, and the impact of trauma. Conversations may include looking at how attachment patterns affect trust and communication.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused work that connects feelings to problems they want to change. He notes a strengths-based stance and the use of talk and practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve interactions. Sessions are conducted in English in Ohio, and international clients are not accepted.
How EFT, attachment work, and CBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions in the moment and then using those feelings to change interaction patterns. It can be useful when relationship patterns and attachment needs are hard to put into words. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current bonds shape trust, closeness, and reactions to stress. That approach helps when abandonment, communication problems, or loneliness are part of the concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and coping with life changes. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, attachment work, CBT, or a combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also allow people to work with a therapist who understands first responder issues without needing to commute. Ask about session length and platform options when you schedule to match therapy to your routine.Areas of expertise
