About Jeffrey
LPC Jeffrey Gowing has eight years of clinical experience and is based in Michigan. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and a range of sexuality and gender issues.

Jeffrey earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology and a master’s in Criminal Justice from Michigan State University. He also completed a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. He holds the LPC credential and lists Virginia LPC and Michigan LPC licensees in his background.
His approach asks for commitment. He expects regular attendance and active participation so work in sessions can carry into daily life. He focuses on how people process information, helping them notice how thoughts and perceptions shape reactions and bodily symptoms.
In sessions he uses CBT techniques to identify thought patterns and to test new ways of thinking and behaving. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, centering the person’s own goals and pace. Together those methods aim to change unhelpful thinking and strengthen practical skills.
Jeffrey has been involved with professional groups including the American Counseling Association and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. He has served on the board of SAIGE, a division of the American Counseling Association focused on sexual and gender diversity issues. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and following the client's goals. In an online session this means the therapist checks in on what matters most and adjusts pace and focus to match the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing different behaviors. Online work can include brief exercises, homework, and structured check-ins to track progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and decides together what methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative choice can change over time as concerns evolve and practical needs shift.
The biography does not list which session formats are provided, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. They also allow practicing CBT exercises between meetings and keeping a steady routine without rearranging the whole day.
