About Hilary
Hilary Stover uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make real changes. She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon. Hilary draws on 18 years of experience to guide straightforward, goal-focused work.
Hilary offers clear, step-by-step help for stress, anxiety, mood challenges, addiction concerns, trauma, and relationship struggles. Sessions focus on learning skills and testing small changes that add up over time.
How Hilary works
She combines cognitive and behavioral tools with motivation-focused techniques to help people move toward what matters to them. Her background includes outpatient and inpatient care, community agencies, personal hospitals, and work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and independent practice. That mix informs a flexible approach that fits different situations and needs.
Hilary explains options, then tailors methods to the person in front of her. In sessions she is warm and direct, encouraging honest talk and steady progress. Therapy aims to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, then replace them with more helpful patterns.
Practical coping skills for stress, sleep, cravings, and emotion regulation are a common focus. Hilary views the relationship itself as part of the work and spends time building trust and collaboration. Online formats are part of her practice, letting people connect in the way that fits their life.
When someone is ready, she guides a plan to reach goals and handle life changes.

Online support options
Using CBT and Mindfulness in Online Therapy
Hilary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful habits. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing new, more helpful responses to day-to-day problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.She approaches treatment collaboratively and will help figure out which methods fit best for each person. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and what doesn’t. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer therapy work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping a steady path toward goals.
