About
As one who has experienced my own traumas, losses and other "bumps in the road" life throws at us, I can identify with others in distress and try to align with them in finding their personal path to healing and empowerment.
My name is Jeff Miller, and I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. My experience is varied—beginning in Cuyahoga County investigating allegations of abuse and neglect with extensive Juvenile Court involvement, then expanding to children and teens in foster care, residential treatment, and adoption settings. I have also worked with adults managing chronic or acute mental health conditions and dual diagnoses. I am open to working with most concerns, though depression and anxiety—often rooted in trauma and loss—are what I most typically address.
Building a therapeutic relationship and aligning with clients to find their “path” to healing is at the heart of my work. I help normalize certain feelings, and approach each person without judgment. I am honest and respectful of what a client can manage at any point in the process. Trust is developed and earned over time, and I fully understand that.
I look forward to meeting you and will always start from where you are. Our journey together will hopefully bring new understandings and positive life changes.

Hello, my name is Alicia, and I have experience working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have experience working with people who have experienced many different types of trauma such as abuse, violence, grief, or many other terrible things that life throws at us. I also have experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, and other mental health struggles.
I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. I believe that because we are all unique individuals, we require a unique and individual approach to healing. I take pride in my eagerness to learn different ways to help my clients. I have training and experience in EMDR, DBT, CBT, psychotherapy, mindfulness, and general talk therapy.
I believe in meeting people where they are at. Whether that means just meeting to vent or processing deeper emotions. I am ready when you are and I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your healing journey.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Thriveworks has observed an important need in the mental health sphere: more convenient and flexible options. We’ve seen that many people can’t commit to a counseling appointment because they already feel overwhelmed by the amount of appointments on their schedule. “If only there was greater convenience and flexibility!” We hear you, and we’re here to offer a solution: online counseling.
Online counseling was made to offer people a more convenient and flexible way to meet with a counselor. It’s also great for people who would rather attend their counseling sessions from the comfort of home, on their lunch break at work, or elsewhere. Thriveworks Ohio Counseling is proud to offer both telephone counseling and video counseling, the two most effective online counseling options out there. Both options can prove valuable to your life; it will simply come down to which approach you prefer! Either way, our online counseling are excited for the chance to meet and work with you.
If you’re interested in online or virtual counseling—the utmost convenient and flexible counseling option out there today—consider contacting Thriveworks Ohio Counseling. Our scheduling staff is on call, ready to set you up with a telephone counselor or video counselor. Regardless of which online counseling type you choose, our counselors are here to help you confront your challenges, hurdles, demons, or whatever you prefer to call them! We’re here, and we’re on your side.
Here at Thriveworks Ohio Counseling, online counseling is easy. It doesn’t require you to have a high level of experience or skills with technology. Instead, you simply need access to a device, like a telephone or computer, of which will allow you to hop on to a phone or video call with your provider! This, of course, means that you’ll need to have internet connection, too. But that is the extent of the requirements for our online counseling services.
Are you wondering whether you should go with telephone or video counseling? Consider the following:
The bottom line is that if you are looking for that face-to-face interaction, video counseling is likely the online counseling option for you. If, on the other hand, you’d prefer greater anonymity and flexibility, telephone counseling might be the route you’re looking for.
The online counselors on the Thriveworks Ohio Counseling team are capable of helping their clients with a wide range of problems, in virtually every area of life. For example, you can work with your online counselor to accomplish the following:
The online counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Ohio Counseling aren’t just qualified to help with your mental health challenges, they truly care about your wellbeing and want to do everything they can to help you live a happy, successful life.
