About Hillary

Hillary Paige Gorman is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Oregon. She brings 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her work often focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship struggles and life transitions.

Her style is practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients name what’s most important. Sessions aim to build skills that can be used at home and in everyday life.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and perspective rather than imposing a fixed plan. Hillary uses tools from attachment-based methods, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and narrative approaches. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

She also brings trauma-informed thinking into sessions to reduce harm and increase safety. Parents or caregivers looking for help with family patterns, coping skills, or emotional regulation can expect a clear, collaborative approach. Hillary helps people break problems into manageable steps and practices new ways of responding.

She highlights strengths and small changes that make daily life easier. People who start therapy with her complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their routine. Communication options include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

The process aims to be flexible so clients can connect in ways that work for them.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how patterns of connection shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice how past and present relationships affect stress, parenting, and emotional responses. Client-centered therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens without judgment, and supports the client’s own problem solving and growth.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Hillary collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy makes regular contact easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give extra flexibility for busy days or quick check-ins. These options help clients fit therapy into family schedules and daily life while working with licensed professionals who use attachment, client-centered, and cognitive techniques to address stress, parenting, anxiety, and related concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
