Jeff Ray, LMHC, is a seasoned therapist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, ADHD, grief, and emotional dysregulation. Jeff specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and has a practical, skills-based approach that empowers clients to understand and shift the thought patterns that influence their behavior and emotions.
Jeff works with children, teens, and adults, and brings particular expertise in supporting young people with anger, oppositional behaviors, and self-esteem issues. His approach blends clinical expertise with hands-on tools, including the Stop Sign Program—a self-regulation technique incorporating diaphragmatic breathing, positive self-talk, and cognitive reframing—and a Home Citizenship Report Card, a self-monitoring tool that helps clients build insight into their behaviors and progress.
Known for his calm demeanor and creative strategies, Jeff fosters a warm, inclusive space for clients of all backgrounds. He has worked in diverse settings including hospitals, residential care, schools, community agencies, and private practice.
