About Reginald

Reginald Haynes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 22 years of practice. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

He also supports those handling caregiver strain, life changes, and issues related to identity and trauma. Reginald uses straightforward, person-focused work.

Sessions aim to help people name what matters, learn skills to cope, and practice new ways of relating. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs.

His experience includes supporting people through post-traumatic stress, divorce and separation, immigration challenges, and the strains common to first responders. He also focuses on men's issues, infidelity, and compassion fatigue.

That background informs how he plans sessions and sets goals with each person. Reginald blends several approaches in session.

He draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and skills. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused techniques are used to shift patterns and deepen emotional understanding. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and down-to-earth.

Reginald works with each person to build practical tools, improve coping, and strengthen the relationships that matter most. He aims for steady progress one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Reginald often uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. This approach focuses on practical exercises and skills that help people and partners notice harmful cycles and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take small actions that align with what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether to emphasize Gottman work, ACT, CBT, or other methods so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship or emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief exchanges, coaching between sessions, or ongoing reflection when a call isn’t possible. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
