About Hurey
Dr. Hurey Hughes is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice experience in North Carolina and Virginia.
Background and approach
He brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to work addressing a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, relationship and intimacy issues, career challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. His LCSW credential reflects clinical training and years of direct practice supporting people through complex changes and emotional challenges.
He emphasizes creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and he supports clients in taking the often-difficult first steps toward change. Drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, he tailors strategies to each person’s situation while fostering empowerment and practical coping skills.
Dr. Hughes aims to help clients clarify goals, build sustainable routines, and strengthen skills for managing stress, relationships, and life transitions.
Approaches That Guide Online Care
Dr. Hughes draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this method is practical and often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people coping with intense feelings or relational challenges. Motivational Interviewing is employed to clarify values and boost internal motivation when clients are ready to make changes but feel ambivalent.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, and together they will shape a plan that integrates suitable techniques and measurable steps toward those goals.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work and life schedules. These formats make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
