How Hillary Uses Approaches Online
Hillary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can decide what changes they want to make.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hillary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to select techniques that fit. She adjusts methods over time based on what is working and what the person wants to focus on.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for brief reflections, check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
