About Roger

Roger Hunter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with about 30 years of experience. He offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and life transitions. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Roger aims to build trust quickly so conversations feel safe and useful. Roger uses simple, goal-focused methods in sessions. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where a person’s goals set the direction.

Background and approach

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Solution-Focused Therapy helps him break challenges into small, actionable steps that lead to progress. He believes the past can inform choices but keeps the main attention on moving forward.

Sessions often include planning, problem solving, and practice tasks between meetings. Roger also brings experience supporting people with issues such as addictions, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, codependency, and social anxiety. Language used in sessions is plain and direct.

He encourages realistic goals, steady progress, and flexible strategies that adapt as needs change. Roger combines life coaching elements with clinical work to help people reach clearer outcomes. Those interested in working with him can expect focused conversations about current problems, simple tools to try at home, and a steady emphasis on what the client wants to change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Roger commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, respectful space where the client's goals guide the conversation and the therapist listens without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That way therapy stays practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow people to meet from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and keep progress going when life is hectic. Roger uses short exercises, planning between sessions, and check-ins that work well in remote formats to keep momentum and make change feel achievable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
