About Hilary

Hilary Mody is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, anger, intimacy issues, family tensions, life changes, and ADHD. Her style is relaxed and respectful, and she aims to meet each person where they are.

Hilary uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals and values at the center of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person’s needs. Her background includes a degree from New York University’s School of Clinical Social Work and two decades of practice in a range of settings. That experience has shaped a flexible, eclectic way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

She leans on reflection and exploration of patterns to make sense of current difficulties. Hilary encourages self-reflection to identify recurring patterns that contribute to distress. Once patterns are clearer, she works with people to try practical changes and build on strengths they already have.

The focus is on useful steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions are guided by the person in front of her, with gentle feedback and suggested tools when helpful. The aim is steady progress - sometimes through insight, sometimes through small behavior changes - always with an emphasis on respect and compassion.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what she hears, asks clarifying questions, and helps people name their goals so sessions stay relevant to everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and ADHD-related routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hilary will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She combines input from the client and her clinical experience to recommend ways to proceed, and adjusts the plan as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation help, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send brief updates, try short coping prompts, or check in between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
