About Hillary
Hillary Paige Gorman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with 15 years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping people find workable steps for daily life.
Hillary centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She uses client-centered listening so people feel heard, then brings practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches when thoughts and habits get in the way.
Background and approach
Narrative ideas help people reframe difficult experiences and notice new options. Her background includes extensive work with youth and families who face anxiety and depression. That experience informs how she talks about routines, behavior patterns, and realistic goals for parents juggling many demands.
She also applies trauma-informed thinking when past hurts affect current relationships and coping. In a session, Hillary typically listens first, names what's getting in the way, and then suggests concrete strategies to try between meetings. Sessions often focus on small changes that make daily life easier, such as communication moves, stress management skills, and problem-solving steps for parenting challenges.
Hillary believes people are the experts on their own lives and builds on what already works. She encourages practical progress at a steady pace and helps clients track what changes feel useful. Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet online or by phone.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current parenting and stress. It helps people notice how they connect with others and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to sort through feelings and make decisions at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It provides practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and the small habits that complicate parenting and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hillary collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines listening with specific strategies and adjusts plans based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy routines. Video calls allow visual connection for communication practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options help people keep momentum and use therapy in ways that match their schedules and needs.
