Jonathan Hines, LCMHC, LPC

Jonathan Hines is a licensed counselor who brings seven years of clinical work to sessions. He is credentialed as an LCMHC and an LPC and practices in North Carolina. He meets people where they are and focuses on helping them move past things that get in the way of daily life.

He commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, and addictions. He also works with depression, bipolar concerns, attention challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Jonathan pays attention to how symptoms show up in everyday routines and decisions.

In sessions he treats each person as the expert on their own life. He listens first, then helps set goals that fit the person's priorities. He draws on structured approaches to guide conversations and build skills rather than relying on only one way of working.

Jonathan uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing among other methods. These tools are used to clarify values, change unhelpful thinking and support commitment to healthier behaviors.

People who do well with his style want practical steps alongside supportive listening. He focuses on small, achievable changes and clear strategies for coping. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Jonathan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and commit to small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and helping people move past addictive patterns by focusing on what matters most.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT supports clear steps for changing behavior and improving mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck or unsure about change; it helps build internal motivation and explore ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust over time.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, or offer a simpler check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and motivational techniques to remote sessions while focusing on practical, goal-oriented work.
