Wayne Hoagland , LPC

Wayne Hoagland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. He draws on trauma-informed and somatic methods alongside focused mindfulness and guided self-inquiry to help clients reconnect with their bodies, uncover meaning, and move toward greater emotional freedom. Wayne approaches therapy in a step-by-step, collaborative way - beginning where each person is and pacing the work to match their readiness and goals.

Clients can expect an emphasis on practical skills rooted in present-moment awareness and bodily experience, combined with reflective exploration to address issues such as depression, panic, dissociation, and difficulties with self-worth and relationships. As an LPC licensed in Oregon, he aims to balance compassion with clear structure to support healing and growth over time.

Somatic and Mindful Approaches Delivered Online

Wayne integrates somatic therapy, which focuses on the connection between the body and emotions to help people process trauma and reduce physiological stress responses. This approach is useful for those who find talk therapy alone leaves important physical sensations unaddressed.

He also uses mindfulness therapy, teaching present-moment awareness and grounding skills that support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and improve focus. For clients navigating anxiety, panic, or persistent worry, mindfulness tools can offer practical ways to interrupt distressing patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wayne works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time, combining somatic awareness, mindfulness exercises, and reflective inquiry as appropriate.

Online therapy with Wayne is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from different locations, and use sessions in ways that suit daily life while working toward meaningful change.
