About Greg
Greg Hilgert is a licensed counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, trauma, and related concerns. He brings 23 years of experience and a straightforward, practical style. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.
Greg adapts sessions to each person's situation. He focuses on finding clear steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. Many people work with him on sleep, anger, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
His approach centers on the client's goals. He uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most. He also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
For trauma-related work he includes methods designed to process difficult memories and lessen their hold on daily life. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice stress and choose different responses. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Greg aims to teach skills people can use between visits. He offers video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect, and works with people to fit therapy into their routines.
How his approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around what matters to the person. In sessions Greg asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps people set realistic goals and steps to reach them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors that reduce anxiety or boost mood. EMDR offers a structured way to work with distressing memories and the reactions they trigger, aiming to lessen their emotional intensity and reduce avoidance.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Greg will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change over time based on what helps most, and he collaborates with clients to adjust techniques and pace.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to use around life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper processing. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or used for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or share thoughts between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, caregiving, or other routines.
