Venus Tombakoglu

Venus Tombakoglu is an Ohio LPCC with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing isolation, control issues, and questions about life purpose.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on clearer communication when relationships feel strained.

Venus pays attention to patterns that increase worry and low mood. She helps clients name those patterns and test different behaviors to see what changes. For relationship concerns she works on communication skills and ways to manage conflict without escalating tensions.

For people feeling stuck about direction or purpose, she helps clarify values and small experiments that reveal what matters. For self-esteem and motivation issues she supports building confidence through achievable goals and honest self-reflection.

Sessions are conducted in English, Persian, and Turkish. Venus accepts international clients; confirm session options when you book. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Venus uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that keep problems going. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test more helpful ways of thinking and behaving; this can ease anxiety and low mood by changing what people do day to day. Another frequent focus is communication skill building, which teaches specific ways to express needs, set boundaries, and respond in conflicts so relationships feel less reactive.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits your needs and preferences. Together you will adjust strategies and set small experiments to check what helps most over time.

The therapist accepts international clients, but the profile does not specify exact online formats. Please confirm available session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time for regular sessions. Venus conducts sessions in English, Persian, and Turkish, and will discuss the practical setup and pacing that suits your life when you schedule an initial appointment.
