About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Ayers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than six years of experience working in mental health. After spending seven years with the United States Postal Service, he chose to return to school and focus on helping people navigate life’s challenges. The LPC credential indicates that he has met state requirements to practice professional counseling.

He earned an Associate of Science from Brazosport College, followed by an Associate of Arts and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Columbia College. He continued his training with a Master of Education in Counseling, a Graduate Certificate in College Student Mental Health, and an Education Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition to clinical roles, he serves as a school psychological examiner and as a Kindergarten through 12th grade school counselor. He completed his provisional license hours at Lincoln University, where he provided pro bono counseling to community members and college students.

Jeffrey brings a warm, receptive counseling style that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress. He tailors interventions to each individual and draws on career counseling experience and mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Using an integrated approach, he collaborates with clients to identify what will work best for their goals. He aims to challenge the stigma around seeking help and to support clients in finding a path they can pursue with confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeffrey Ayers draws on client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with mindfulness techniques, to guide his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals shape the work and personal growth is supported through empathy and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness and breathing practices that help clients stay grounded and manage intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they remain practical and relevant for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule or when travel is difficult. These formats allow licensed professionals like him to provide consistent support across distance while adapting session length and style to what works best for each client.
