About Bobby
Bobby Hines is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 13 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ related concerns with a calm, straightforward approach.
He focuses on creating an open space where people can say what they mean and be heard. Sessions are meant to feel nonjudgmental so clients can talk about hard things without pressure.
In therapy he draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build on what matters most to them. He also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and actions that get in the way of daily life.
Bobby often works on practical problems such as communication breakdowns, control issues, and workplace stress. He also helps people facing guilt, shame, isolation, and the process of forgiveness.
His style is collaborative and plainspoken. He walks alongside clients as they set goals and try new ways of handling difficult moments. People looking for steady, respectful support may find his approach helpful.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s perspective first and focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own pace of change. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through identity, relationship stress, or doubts about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to clarify personal values so actions match what matters most. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and feelings of being stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Figuring out the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences, and adjust as work progresses. This means therapy can shift toward skills work, values-based action, or relationship exploration depending on what helps most.
Confirm available session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter time or use audio-only meetings if that makes participation easier. Ask about current session formats when you schedule so they match your daily life.
