Grief counselors and therapists in Dublin, OH

Clients often describe me as reliable, professional, and flexible in meeting their needs. My diverse experience allows me to connect with people from all walks of life. I pride myself on being a great listener with strong comprehension skills, offering a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to share and process.

Hi, I am Joe, a licensed mental health therapist. I believe that people are capable of change, which is why I do what I do. It's understandable if you come to therapy feeling low and unmotivated. This is normal. Your first step in coming here is a big deal and not an easy decision or task. That right there is motivation. I believe in a collaborative approach and meeting you where you are in your life. I am not an expert on you, but we can work together to understand what is getting in the way of your goals and make plans to address these areas. I am here to help you figure out what needs to change and to guide you through the process of improving your mental health and growing as a person. I am a caring, open, and non-judgmental person, who loves cats, music, reading, and video games. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially around a bon fire.

With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.

I became a graduate of Youngstown State University’s Mater of Social Work program while working full-time in mental health crisis intervention (think 9-8-8 hotline). Aside from crisis, I have several years of experience working with adults through individual work. I am a firm believer that all individuals deserve access to the care they need and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by those who provide it. My therapeutic approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I partner with individuals ages 12 and older who are navigating major life transitions or struggling with anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. My practice brings together the best of talk therapy, thoughtful medication management, and restorative lifestyle support to help you find balance and lasting relief. Together, we will look at the whole picture of your health in a comfortable, convenient virtual space. Now accepting insurance and self-pay clients.

I received my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from Xavier University in 2020, but have been working in the mental health field since 2016. My professional background in foster care treatment has helped me form a foundation for trauma treatment.
