Background and approach
Hillary uses trauma-informed, client-centered care as a foundation. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to tailor sessions to what each person needs. In sessions she listens first, then helps set practical goals.
She aims to make strategies clear and doable. Common tools include skills for managing anxious thoughts, pacing stressful days, and problem-solving parenting or relationship tension. Hillary believes clients are the experts in their own lives.
Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where she offers perspectives and options rather than one fixed plan. She emphasizes building on what already works for the client. People who reach out should expect a straightforward approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and story work.
Hillary encourages small, measurable steps that fit into daily life. Taking the first step to begin therapy is acknowledged as an important act of courage, and she supports people as they move forward.
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection habits and learn new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve stability. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens deeply and reflects back what matters, helping clients feel heard and decide on changes. Hillary will work with each client to find the right blend of methods. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision and checks in regularly to adjust direction based on progress, needs, and preferences. Online sessions can make regular work easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between longer conversations. Together these formats offer flexibility for different days, schedules, and energy levels, while still supporting steady progress.Questions people ask
