Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Portia Hines, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, burnout, stress, or feeling overwhelmed, and help them regain clarity, emotional balance, and confidence. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you develop healthier ways to manage emotions, improve focus, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we focus on meaningful progress so you can feel more grounded and in control of your daily life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is supportive, practical, and solution-focused. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns while developing tools that help them manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions more effectively. I often integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotional regulation strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help clients build awareness and make meaningful changes. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard while also leaving sessions with strategies you can use in everyday life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a supportive and relaxed conversation focused on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We will talk about your current challenges, your goals, and what you would like to see change in your life. I’ll also ask questions about your background, stressors, and strengths so we can begin identifying helpful strategies. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing while we start building a clear plan for moving forward.
