About

Jeffrey Hunter was born and raised in North Carolina and completed both his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and his Master of Arts in Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has practiced as a counselor for 21 years and has provided services in both North Carolina and South Carolina.

He is licensed to practice counseling in both states, holding professional counselor credentials that authorize him to provide clinical mental health services in North Carolina and South Carolina. He does not take cases that are limited solely to treating substance abuse or dependence, since that falls outside his scope of practice.

Over his career he has supported people managing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem and motivation, depression, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also works with those experiencing compassion fatigue and clients facing complex bereavement.

His therapeutic presence is commonly described as sincere, genuine, comforting, and interactive. His primary methods include Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with additional techniques drawn from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, relaxation and distress-tolerance skills, and mindfulness practices. He emphasizes unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding so clients can use their own strengths, and he helps clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

Outside of his work he enjoys spending time with his parents and friends, watching movies and historical documentaries, reading, doing yardwork, and weightlifting.

For disclosure purposes, communications in counseling are treated as confidential except when he believes a client is in immediate and clear danger of harming themselves or someone else. In such situations he would need to contact the client’s emergency contact and/or 911.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions, virtual therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people. One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their life best, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain regular meetings and integrate therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals deliver care through these channels, and if a client feels a different therapeutic match would be better, it is possible to change therapists. Online therapy offers a practical option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health challenges and life adjustments.
