About Hillary
Hillary Haarmann is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to move people toward clearer thinking and practical steps they can use every day.
Hillary draws on two decades of experience in mental health. She meets people where they are and focuses on goals that feel meaningful to them.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on building skills that reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. She frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. That work is paired with solution-focused strategies that prioritize small, achievable steps toward clients' goals.
Mindfulness practices are used to strengthen attention and calm in stressful moments. Hillary trained at Indiana University for her bachelor’s degree and completed a master’s degree at Washington University in St. Louis.
She holds the LCSW credential, which indicates her licensure as a clinical social worker in Missouri. In session she centers each person’s strengths and helps them try new perspectives. People who come to her often leave with clearer plans and skills they can use between appointments.
Her style is practical, warm, and collaborative.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work means sessions focus on each person's needs and goals. The therapist listens and helps clients name what matters, then builds sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support possible. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy life.
