About Jeffrey
Rev. Jeffrey Bischoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 30 years of experience. He began his career in ministry and moved into social work and counseling in 1995, providing services in residential and outpatient settings. He works with adults on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, and issues around relationships and parenting.
He has experience addressing trauma and abuse, including PTSD recovery and domestic violence and sexual abuse cases. He also supports people dealing with life transitions, career questions, midlife concerns, and struggles with identity or purpose. His background includes work with juvenile justice populations and with people who have intellectual disabilities.
His practice blends several practical approaches. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a Client-Centered and Solution-Focused frame. Sessions can include discussion of spiritual concerns when the client wants that; he does not impose spiritual content.
Across his career he has combined ministry and counseling roles, including training in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and experience as a spiritual director. That history informs how he listens and how he talks about values, meaning, and life purpose when those topics come up.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health event, or a period of low motivation often seek his help. He encourages straightforward conversation about practical steps and next actions, and works with clients to clarify what matters and what can change next.
Approaches used and how online sessions are managed
Rev. Bischoff commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present, which can help when people feel directionless or stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping the client lead the conversation, making space for whatever matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss methods and adapt them based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions. That collaborative selection helps focus on concrete next steps rather than abstract promises.
The profile does not specify the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets the therapist and client practice strategies between meetings and review progress in context. Licensed professionals often combine these approaches to keep sessions practical and focused on what matters now.
