Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Hilary integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client's experiences and goals guide the pace and direction of therapy - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships, and processing emotional pain. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hilary works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will blend approaches as appropriate, adapting techniques to each person's circumstances and pacing the work according to what feels most helpful.

The online format supports flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
