About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 21 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use between visits.

Jeffrey was born and raised in North Carolina and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has practiced in both North Carolina and South Carolina and currently holds licensure in North Carolina as an LCMHC and in South Carolina as an LPC.

His style is described as sincere, genuine, comforting, and interactive. He combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and uses Solution-Focused techniques when helpful. Sessions may include relaxation skills, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing strategies.

Jeffrey notes that substance dependence addressed as the sole focus of treatment falls outside the scope of his licensure, so that would not be an appropriate reason to choose him. He has experience helping people with long-term concerns as well as shorter-term life stressors and adjustment issues.

Outside of work he spends time with family and friends, watches movies and historical documentaries, reads, does yardwork, and weightlifts. He asks prospective clients to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Jeffrey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard. It helps people feel heard and use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to identify patterns that cause distress and then practices new ways of thinking and acting. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small steps that lead to measurable progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeffrey will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find practical tools that fit into everyday life rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins during a workday. It also makes it possible to use exercises, worksheets, and behavioral practice between sessions so changes can be reinforced in daily routines.
