About Hilary

Hilary Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field.

She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, school-related concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, ADHD, and trauma. Hilary emphasizes meeting each person where they are, taking time to listen carefully and understand their perspective before collaborating on goals and interventions. Her approach to counseling is interactive and practical while remaining warm, respectful, and free of judgment.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Hilary uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship where the therapist listens closely, reflects the client's experience, and helps the person identify their own strengths and goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, acceptance, and a space to explore personal concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In short, CBT combines practical skills and structured strategies to address anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and other common difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hilary works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic, and engage with licensed professionals from more convenient locations.
