About Heath
Heath Ridenbaugh is an Ohio-based LPCC who supports people facing addictions, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
He also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, family problems, life purpose, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and issues common to young adults. Heath welcomes those seeking practical, skills-based work alongside a person-centered, empathetic relationship.
He draws on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients examine unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping skills. Solution-focused techniques and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions when they fit a client's goals, creating an approach that emphasizes small, achievable changes.
With three years of professional experience and the Ohio LPCC credential (OH LPCC E.1800773), Heath combines a friendly, nonjudgmental manner with an emphasis on collaboration. Heath aims to create a space where clients feel heard and supported while learning concrete tools to manage symptoms and move toward their goals.
Those interested in beginning work can expect a practical, goal-oriented process guided by the client's needs and preferences.
Combining practical methods with flexible online care
Heath draws heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and mood concerns. He also uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in empathy and the client's own goals, offering a supportive environment where a therapeutic relationship guides change. When helpful, mindfulness techniques are introduced to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heath works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods over time so treatment feels like a good fit. This collaboration helps prioritize what will be most practical and effective for each person.
Online therapy with Heath is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it possible to continue regular work on skills, progress, and problem solving without the need to travel, while allowing sessions to fit into busy days and changing routines.
