About Venus
Venus Tombakoglu welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, or depression. She speaks English, Persian, and Turkish and works with clients from Ohio and abroad. Venus aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical steps forward.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Venus believes clients are the experts on their own lives and that therapy builds on existing strengths.
How Venus works
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. In conversations she helps people address communication problems and control issues that get in the way of relationships. She also supports those dealing with isolation or loneliness and people who want to reconnect with their sense of purpose or self-love.
Practical strategies and straightforward talk are common in her sessions. Venus has seven years of professional experience and holds an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, shown as LPCC. Her background includes helping people improve motivation, confidence, and coping with depressive symptoms.
To begin, she encourages a simple first step: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. That start gives space to outline goals, plan next steps, and decide on the session format that fits each person best.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Venus draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One common approach helps people manage anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding exercises, and step-by-step coping strategies to use in daily life. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns through role practice, clearer expression of needs, and learning new ways to respond during conflict.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. Venus works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what’s helping, adjust strategies when needed, and set small, measurable goals for progress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues that support communication work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to share updates between sessions and to get support when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep therapeutic momentum going.
