Joan Hines

Joan Hines is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and bipolar disorder. She combines practical strategies with attentive listening to tailor dialog and a treatment plan that reflect each person's concerns and strengths. Joan places emphasis on respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work.

Her practice addresses a broad set of life concerns, including coping with life changes, blended family issues, drug and alcohol addiction, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, multicultural concerns, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, women's issues, and workplace stress. She uses established clinical approaches to meet specific goals while remaining responsive to what emerges in sessions. Joan aims to support and empower those who take steps toward change, meeting them where they are while working toward clearer priorities and coping tools.

Joan conducts her work in English and holds Georgia licensure as an LPC. She frames collaboration as a shared process: the individual identifies priorities and Joan applies therapeutic methods that fit those goals, adjusting the plan as needed based on ongoing conversation and progress.
