How Hillary works

She has worked extensively with issues related to trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, and family tensions, always aiming for clear goals and steady progress.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can help someone notice those patterns, name them, and try different ways of relating that feel safer and clearer. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, respectful relationship. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people find their own solutions. Hillary will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will talk about goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Finding the right fit is treated as a shared process rather than a fixed prescription. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, flexible check-ins for busy days or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful therapeutic work.Start online instead of waiting
