About Jonathan
Jonathan Hines is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Jonathan also lists ADHD and compassion fatigue among his core concerns, and notes additional work with areas such as guilt and shame.
He frames people as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during sessions. That means conversations tend to start with what matters most to the person and what has helped them before. Jonathan aims to support clients who are ready to take steps toward different ways of living and feeling.
In practice he uses several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when the focus is on change, goals, or increasing motivation.
Sessions focus on practical tools and short-term goals as well as deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. Jonathan will often work on skills such as emotion regulation, communication, and managing urges related to addiction. He also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation when those come up.
People who are carrying guilt or shame related to relationships, upbringing, or addiction may find the sessions address those feelings directly. Language used in sessions is English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How Jonathan uses evidence-based approaches online
Jonathan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT breaks down how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and addictive urges. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that line up with what matters to a person.He also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone needs to build or strengthen their motivation to change. That approach involves exploring ambivalence, highlighting personal reasons for change, and planning small steps. Overall, Jonathan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a client's goals and preferences during early sessions.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and let people attend without being on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions while focusing on real-life application.
