About Alexis

Alexis Hilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. Alexis uses a direct, supportive style to help people make changes and feel more in control of daily problems.

She draws on 17 years of professional experience to guide conversations toward useful steps. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that cause pain and testing small changes to improve day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Alexis emphasizes realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work includes tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for managing intense emotions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly.

Alexis helps people address things like codependency, control issues, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and problems tied to money or career. She supports those coping with addiction, isolation, midlife questions, and the stress of major life events. Her practical approach blends skills training with supportive conversation.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through several formats. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The goal is steady, manageable change that fits each person’s life.

Approaches and online options for practical change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship so people can talk honestly about what matters most. It is helpful when someone needs steady support and a place to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches how thoughts and actions influence moods and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick or combine methods and adjust them as progress is made, so the work fits the client’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions or when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, set goals, and check in on progress while keeping the focus on practical steps that move daily life forward.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
