About Wayne
Wayne Hoagland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 12 years of clinical experience. He offers calm, steady support for people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Wayne favors a step-by-step pace and meets people where they are in the moment.
He uses somatic methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. He also draws on mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people sit with difficult feelings and clarify what matters most. Sessions emphasize practical, simple practices that can be used between meetings.
Wayne describes his approach as trauma-informed and grounded in client-centered care. That means conversations are led by the person in therapy, with the therapist guiding reflection and gentle inquiry. The work often includes paying attention to bodily signals, breathing, and present-moment awareness.
He also uses existential ideas to help people explore questions about meaning, purpose, and values when life feels empty or stuck. This can be useful for people wrestling with loss, major life changes, or a sense of aimlessness.
Wayne aims to make sessions practical and relatable. He helps people build small habits, try experiments between visits, and notice what changes. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who want a thoughtful, body-aware way of working may find his style a good fit. If you want to start, confirm current session options before booking.
