About Hillary

Hillary Safier is a licensed counselor in Tennessee who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. She brings a calm, practical approach and encourages parents to notice their strengths. She says taking the first step is an act of courage and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable.

Hillary uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's situation. Sessions emphasize clear communication, practical strategies for hard moments, and building on what already works in the family.

Background and approach

She helps clients sort through attachment concerns, communication problems, and mood or panic symptoms by breaking issues into small, workable steps. Her background includes ten years of professional experience as a licensed professional counselor.

She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider credential - LPC and LPC-MHSP - and maintains Tennessee license numbers TN LPC 3885 and TN LPC-MHSP 3885. Hillary is comfortable working with matters related to pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and women's issues. She also addresses forgiveness, life purpose, and family problems that affect daily life.

Work in sessions tends to be direct and goal-focused while honoring each person’s values. Therapy options include several remote formats to suit busy schedules. Hillary works in English and accepts international clients, offering a flexible way for parents to get support without long commutes.

Approach and online options for family and parenting support

Hillary commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on improving communication and managing mood symptoms. One approach emphasizes practical communication skills - teaching clear ways to express needs and listen so family members feel heard. This helps with conflicts and parenting moments that escalate quickly.

She also draws on methods that target anxiety and mood regulation, offering concrete tools to reduce panic symptoms and depressive episodes. These tools include simple coping strategies practiced in session and applied at home to support day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works best for each family or parent. This collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and useful from the start.

Online therapy lets parents connect from home by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options increase flexibility for busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Many families find remote sessions reduce travel time and help fit therapy into packed days while still getting practical support.
