Wayne Hoagland

Wayne Hoagland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 12 years of clinical experience to his practice in Oregon. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. Wayne uses grounded, practical methods to help people take steady steps forward from where they are right now.

Wayne emphasizes trauma-informed and body-aware work. He combines somatic techniques with mindfulness and guided self-inquiry to help clients notice how thoughts and physical reactions connect. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage, with simple practices to try between meetings.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles to support people making values-based choices. That means focusing on what matters most to each person and working toward small, doable shifts rather than quick fixes. Conversations are direct but gentle, aimed at increasing clarity and agency.

Wayne commonly helps people dealing with issues like abandonment, body image, control struggles, dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame, and obsessive or panic symptoms. He also supports those facing end-of-life concerns and people seeking a clearer sense of life purpose.

People who choose Wayne can expect straightforward talk, hands-on techniques for calming the nervous system, and guided reflection that links daily habits to bigger goals. He invites people to begin where they are and take the next manageable step.

How Wayne’s approaches fit into online therapy

Wayne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match their values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-purpose questions.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard. This approach emphasizes the client's own pace and priorities, and supports self-directed insight and choice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wayne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods feel in practice. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as needed over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
