Wayne Hoagland , LPC

Wayne Hoagland brings 12 years of clinical experience to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. He blends trauma-informed and somatic practices with focused mindfulness and self-inquiry to help individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions while exploring meaning and direction in life. His approach pays attention to how physical sensations and felt experience interact with thoughts and behavior, offering practical tools for regulation alongside deeper exploration of underlying patterns.

Wayne works with a broad range of concerns including panic, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, social anxiety, and issues related to abandonment, guilt, shame, and self-image. He also supports those facing end-of-life questions, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - he combines evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment for therapeutic work.

Clients can expect a steady, collaborative process that begins where they are and proceeds at a pace that fits their needs. Wayne’s practice emphasizes skill-building, present-moment awareness, and inquiry into what matters most, helping people move toward greater agency, clarity, and relief from symptoms.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Wayne integrates somatic therapy and mindfulness-based work alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support healing in online sessions. Somatic therapy focuses on the body and physical sensations to help process trauma and stress that are held in lived experience, which can be helpful for people struggling with post-traumatic stress, panic, or dissociation. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, offering practical tools for reducing anxiety and improving emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-based action to help clients clarify what matters and build a more meaningful life in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wayne works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions over time, inviting feedback and adjusting strategies so the work aligns with what each person finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Wayne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from in-person services. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapists and licensed professionals from different locations while focusing on practical, effective strategies for change.
