Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Virginia Hillman



Virginia Hillman draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and insights direct the pace of change - it is useful for those seeking greater self-understanding and empowerment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can help reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Virginia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different approaches when it supports the client’s progress and comfort.

Online therapy with Virginia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and adapt session formats to different needs and circumstances.
