About Bobby
Bobby Hines is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 13 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. He also assists with relationship and family concerns in individual sessions.
Bobby aims to make the therapy room a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. He encourages people to talk about what matters to them and to name the thoughts and feelings that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to fit each person's needs. He uses approaches that help people notice what they value and take steps toward it. He also draws on methods that look at how early bonds shape current patterns.
Cognitive tools are used to shift unhelpful thinking and narrative techniques help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Bobby often works on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. He also supports people dealing with workplace stress and the specific pressures that come with those settings.
Therapy with Bobby is collaborative. He helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on developing skills that carry into everyday life so change can feel steady and manageable.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and anxiety
Bobby commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them so they can take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bobby will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit their situation. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what might need to change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text sessions allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, and ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
