About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 21 years of experience based in North Carolina. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy and parenting matters, career adjustments, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Jeffrey combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions include skill-building for relaxation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness practice.
Jeffrey trained at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling. He has worked in both North Carolina and South Carolina settings and has spent his career supporting adults facing long-term challenges and acute stressors.
In a typical session he talks through current problems, reviews how thoughts and behaviors are linked, and tests small changes to see what helps. He also uses motivational interviewing elements when people want to change habits or address substance-related problems, though work focused solely on substance dependence may be outside his scope of licensure.
Outside work he enjoys time with family and friends, historical documentaries, reading, yardwork, and weightlifting. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jeffrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress, then try alternative responses to see what helps. CBT can be practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or mood.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own priorities and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of his approach as well and focuses on small, concrete steps that move a person toward specific goals rather than analyzing every past cause.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust focus as progress is observed. This means sessions can shift between skill practice, talking through problems, and setting short-term behavior experiments.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can work around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency with their plan.
