About Jeffrey Hunter
Jeffrey Hunter was born and raised in North Carolina and completed both a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has worked as a counselor in North Carolina and South Carolina for 19 years and is licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and in South Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
He does not provide counseling that is limited solely to addressing substance abuse or dependence, as that falls outside the scope of his licensure. Over the course of his career he has supported people facing longer-term challenges as well as those navigating acute life stressors. His work has included assisting clients with depression, anxiety and panic attacks, self-esteem and motivation issues, family stressors, grief and complicated bereavement, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma and abuse, career development, and adjustment to life transitions.
He describes his therapeutic approach as sincere and genuine, offering a comforting yet interactive style. He has worked with people across different age groups, cultures, and lifestyles, aiming to create a supportive environment where clients can draw on their own strengths.
His primary clinical approaches include Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and he also incorporates techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. He uses skills for relaxation and distress tolerance as well as mindfulness practices. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding, and he seeks to reduce harsh self-judgment and external judgment that can impede change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines the links among thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more adaptive alternatives.
Outside of his clinical work he enjoys spending time with his parents and friends, watching movies and historical documentaries, reading, doing yardwork, and weightlifting. For disclosure purposes he notes that communications in counseling are personal unless he believes someone is in immediate and clear danger of hurting themselves or someone else, at which point he would need to contact the designated emergency contact and/or 911.
