Virginia Hillman , LCSW

Virginia Hillman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of clinical experience counseling adults of all ages. She has worked extensively with the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress, and she supports people navigating anxiety, depression, increased stress, relationship concerns, family of origin issues, and challenges with anger management.

In session she brings a warm, engaged, and interactive style that invites collaboration and exploration. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert of their own story and that they already possess both known and undiscovered strengths to address difficult circumstances. Virginia encourages clients to identify and build on those resources as they work toward greater wellbeing.

Recognizing that reaching out for change requires courage, she offers steady professional support throughout the therapeutic process. Her work centers on helping adults find practical ways to manage symptoms, repair relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Virginia Hillman integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their priorities and tap into their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding techniques to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Virginia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals to connect with clients in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session formats, and integrate therapy into daily life without added travel time.
