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 experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Jonathan also lists social anxiety and phobia among his areas of focus. He communicates in English and works with adults seeking help for these concerns.
Jonathan begins by listening to each person’s story and noticing their existing strengths. He uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels most pressing. Sessions include practical steps and short-term goals as well as deeper reflections when those are useful. Expect clear explanations and options rather than technical jargon.
His background includes a mix of clinical approaches that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also clarifying values and motivation. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy often guide discussions about readiness for change and next steps.
In practice Jonathan helps people manage compulsive behaviors, addictions, obsessive thoughts, and intense social fears. He supports work on communication problems, codependency, and family of origin issues. When needed he addresses symptoms of bipolar disorder and co-occurring depression with practical coping strategies.
His style is practical and collaborative. He asks clear questions, suggests simple experiments to try between sessions, and reviews what worked or didn’t. To begin, patients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session through the online therapy options button.
How Jonathan uses evidence-based approaches online
Jonathan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and practice actions that align with their values, even when anxiety is present.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals. These methods are practical and work together: one approach may help shift thinking, another builds motivation, and a third sets clear next steps. Jonathan will work with clients to choose which approach fits best based on their goals and preferences.
