About Alexis
Alexis Hilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 17 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. She focuses on practical change and helps clients take steps that improve daily life and relationships. Alexis speaks directly about problem solving and personal growth in simple, goal-oriented terms.
Her approach is grounded in listening first. She uses client-centered methods to understand each person's values and goals.
Background and approach
From there she adapts tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming or when stronger coping tools are needed. Sessions often focus on concrete strategies for managing stress, anger, or life transitions.
She works on relationship patterns, codependency, commitment and control issues, and the fallout from major life changes. Parents can expect practical coaching for managing parenting strain and related mood concerns like postpartum depression. Alexis brings experience helping people who face isolation, career doubts, money concerns, and the emptiness that sometimes follows big life shifts.
She also supports those dealing with social anxiety, midlife questions, and young adult issues. Conversations aim to identify next steps and small experiments to test change. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Alexis encourages people to try approaches and adjust them as needed. Her goal is to leave clients with clearer choices and better tools for everyday life.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's goals and values. In online sessions this looks like the therapist listening closely, asking about priorities, and shaping the plan around what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs support that fits their life rhythm.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often includes short exercises between sessions, thought records, and behavior experiments that a person can practice between video or phone meetings. This approach suits stress, anxiety, and mood concerns because it teaches clear tools to test and change patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills. Remotely, that can mean practicing breathing and grounding techniques during a call, learning distress tolerance strategies over chat, or using skills check-ins by text. DBT-style skills help when emotions feel intense or when people need steady symptom management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, daily skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
