01About Wayne
Wayne Hoagland is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of clinical experience in Oregon. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and compassion fatigue. Wayne aims to meet people where they are and move forward at a pace that feels doable.
He uses somatic work and mindfulness to help clients notice how stress and past events show up in the body. That often makes emotions easier to name and manage.
Background and approach
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps toward a life that feels meaningful. Wayne practices in a straightforward, calm style. Sessions tend to include gentle inquiry, breathing or body-based practices, and practical steps to try between meetings.
He emphasizes small, steady progress rather than fast fixes. People come to him with a range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including abandonment, body image struggles, dissociation, shame, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and end-of-life or hospice related issues. He also supports work on forgiveness, self-love, and finding life purpose.
Sessions can be adapted to fit each person’s needs, whether someone prefers talking, guided awareness exercises, or somatic techniques. Wayne helps people set clear, manageable goals and choose approaches that fit their situation.

How Wayne's Methods Work Online
Wayne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking action based on personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and painful memories. Somatic Therapy looks at how emotions show up in the body and uses gentle body awareness and movement to reduce tension and reactivity; this can be useful for trauma, panic, and chronic stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. Wayne collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries approaches that suit their needs and comfort. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face for guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue steady work even when schedules change.
