Teletherapy for Ohio

Hello and welcome! It takes a lot of courage to consider getting support for a better life. I hope to be able to help. One of my goals in counseling is to facilitate growth and development through compassionate understanding and research-based solutions. I believe that authentic and productive change begins by establishing trust in the counseling relationship. This is the foundation on which I work with clients, as we talk about issues in their past, develop skills for overcoming present challenges, and create a new, more hopeful future together.

At Authentic Life Counseling, I utilize a variety of evidence based therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with individuals ages 14 and up to address general mental health concerns, with a special focus on culturally diverse populations and boys/men. In my experience, I have helped individuals tackle issues of masculinity, cultural identity, dual-culture relationships, while helping rediscover their purpose in life. It is my passion to help individuals gain an understanding and acceptance of themselves, using a culturally sensitive therapeutic approach.

My purpose of my life is to eliminate anxiety and depression, one person at a time. Through a client-centered approach I help each person return to calm and clarity. I acknowledge individuals for where they are and who they aspire to be, while increasing their emotional connection to their own purpose and priorities. By carrying out these actions daily, I fulfill my purpose to help you build your life worth living. For more information, visit my website: www.TheKevinRFoley.us

Men don’t like to talk about anxiety. It can make you feel out of control. Think of the times you want to do something meaningful for yourself but cannot because of the rush of overwhelm you feel. Something has to change. I help men who struggle with anxiety manage their thoughts and feelings so they can do what they want, instead of having their anxiety tell them what they can and cannot do.

Feeling stuck spiritually? Emotionally? Let's get you out of the muck and into a life of freedom, peace, & wellbeing. I'm an experienced life coach, spiritual director, pastor, and chaplain, and I care deeply about people's spiritual wellbeing. I'm not a licensed psychologist or therapist. I don't diagnose or treat mental illness. I'm here to walk with you into a deeper, richer spirituality regardless of your background or beliefs.

I work with individuals experiencing significant psychological distress due to marital difficulties and other personal challenges. Many of my clients have resorted to addictive behaviors as a means of coping, while some engage in self-harming behaviors, which can also be considered addictive in nature. Within the confines of my office, couples can find a secure and supportive environment to address their issues and cultivate more resilient and fulfilling relationships.

I have worked with clients of all ages and with different circumstances, including those with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, sexual identity issues, and personality disorders, among other challenges. In my experience, clients come out of the experience feeling a sense of relief, as though a weight has been lifted off of their shoulders because someone finally sees and understands them! That's what I want for everyone who steps into my office - I want them to be seen, heard, understood, and loved.

Sometimes life can leave us off balance. My desire is to walk alongside and help you gain your footing. With the fast pace of society, there are bound to be challenges. Taking action is the necessary first step toward further growth and development. The hope is to help clients gain insight into building a therapeutic relationship fostered by authenticity and trust.

My ideal clients are those struggling with trauma issues who are seeking ways to resolve these issues before they become enduring problems & patterns. I also enjoy working with those who are struggling with complex unresolved issues of trauma. I encourage my clients to take a holistic approach to growth. We are physical, mental, emotional & spiritual beings. The path forward is achieved by weaving all of these aspects of ourselves together into a coherent, unified whole. We can experience growth & healing. We then become a healthy influence on everyone & everything around us. This is my hope for anyone seeking therapy.

My counseling style is highly engaged yet warm and friendly. I will validate your feelings and experiences while offering challenges to help you shift your mindset. Constructive feedback will give you an opportunity to create some distance from your thoughts and feelings so you can observe them more clearly. As you become more self-aware, you will be able to identify when negative thoughts and feelings are taking over—and what to do to stop them. You will also learn how to create boundaries to help you protect your energy. Therapy can help you let go of perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing and self defeating behaviors

Are you managing the demands of school, work, and family as you grapple with mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and trauma? It can be overwhelming, because modern life does not slow down for us to repair our mental health and get back to optimal functioning. We often get stuck, just "getting by", suffering in silence. I keep a focus on helping clients quickly and effectively, while at the same time tailoring interventions to each client's unique lived experience.

Healthy people seek out help and this is why I have great respect for anyone who takes the first step to seek out counseling. I enjoy working with any person who is motivated to overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or more severe disorders. I have worked at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for over 10 years and have seen clients at Telehealth Hope Counseling for over 6 years. I have over 20 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor supervisor and I have the experience needed to treat these problems.

Does it ever feel like you are making the same mistakes over and over? Do you feel stuck, almost like you are losing hope that change is actually possible? Maybe you are questioning making a major life change and could use some help processing it through? I am passionate about you experiencing personal growth and breakthrough. I focus on where you've gotten stuck in unhealthy patterns and unhealthy negative thinking loops. Better awareness of what is holding you back is the first step toward positive change and healthier choices in your life.

I enjoy working with individuals across the life span who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or a multitude of additional diagnoses. Whether you have clear goals for your therapeutic experience or you need help in defining them, I can offer a holistic approach which will help you achieve the desired change.

Losing a loved one can often derail the best of us. My unique experience is what you need. After 18 years serving as Senior Pastor, I have proven interventions that can provide the help you need. Even if you tried others, don't stop until you have come to me. PTSD from past trauma can show up after many years of being dormant. I have over 20 years of active service in our nation's military. My education plus experience can work on your behalf.

As a Marriage & Family therapist, I'm attuned to clients’ interconnected webs of relationships even when working 1-on-1. My experience & training with families & couples enables me to walk with clients through (re)discovering their connectedness to those they love. I’m most passionate about exploring clients’ stories & listening for places where personal narratives might differ from others’. This often provides spaces for clients to explore new or neglected understandings of themselves & their relationships leading to preferred, more fulfilling future stories. I enjoy working with clients across cultural, sexual& gender identities.

Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brainspotting trained, I employ an individualized blended approach tailored to your unique needs. Specializing in trauma resolution, I work with children (ages 5-21), adults (21-65), and families dealing with attachment issues, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. These issues many times lead to a decreased self-worth and is an area we will focus, by addressing self-esteem and self-worth issues, we help you build a foundation of confidence and self-empowerment. Our collaborative work aims to cultivate a positive self-image, fostering lasting change in how you perceive and value yourself.

Too often, people start therapy w/out really knowing how it's supposed to help them. Too often, therapists passively listen without providing the essential skills & insights to help them get better. This can lead to a lot of time and money being spent w/out seeing much improvement. That is why my practice has a transparent and teamwork driven approach. In the 1st 1-3 sessions we go over why you started therapy and then collaborate on a treatment plan that is customized to your specific goals. Over the course of treatment we review progress and make modifications accordingly.
