About Wayne
LPC Wayne Hoagland has 12 years of clinical experience and practices in Oregon. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also helps people dealing with issues like abandonment, body image, dissociation, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, and questions about life purpose.
Wayne begins by listening to where a person is right now and works in short, steady steps. He uses somatic work to attend to bodily reactions and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people notice what matters and make values-based choices.
Sessions typically include guided attention to physical sensations, reflective conversation, and practical exercises to try between meetings. Wayne emphasizes exploring meaning and personal values, and he helps people reduce avoidance and increase flexible action. The room is focused on what is useful and doable now.
He integrates trauma-focused techniques with somatic awareness when past events continue to show up in the body. For grief and end-of-life concerns he balances practical problem-solving with support for difficult emotions. For obsessive or panic symptoms he helps identify patterns and develop short experiments to interrupt them.
Wayne works in English and accepts international clients. He holds the LPC credential listed above and practices in Oregon. To begin, visitors follow the site flow to match with him and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in practice focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Online ACT sessions often include guided exercises to clarify values and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses reflective listening and open questions; through video or phone this shows up as slow, attentive conversation that helps people make sense of what they are feeling.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods feel most helpful and adjust over time based on needs and goals. Early sessions tend to be about understanding immediate concerns and deciding which combination of techniques to try.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow meetings during a lunch break. Some formats need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in when life is hectic, and others let clinicians use grounding practices and somatic exercises through guided attention. Discuss practical needs when scheduling so sessions align with daily life.
