About Greg

Greg Hilgert is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who works with adults and families on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 23 years of experience in varied clinical settings, he emphasizes each person's individuality and tailors the work to match personal strengths, goals, and circumstances. His style blends client-centered listening with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, and he also brings trauma-focused tools such as EMDR and mindfulness practices into the work when appropriate.

Greg has substantial experience helping people manage mood disorders, interpersonal conflict, substance-related problems, and parenting or family difficulties. He aims to collaborate with clients to identify manageable steps and develop skills that improve day-to-day functioning.

Based in North Carolina, Greg holds an LCMHC credential and offers sessions using a flexible subscription model. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedule appointments according to his availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Greg integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into online work, starting with a respectful, listening-oriented stance that places the client's priorities at the center. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration to help people clarify goals and build motivation for change, while CBT offers concrete tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

He also uses EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate, which involves structured protocols to address distressing memories and associated reactions. EMDR can be paired with mindfulness techniques to help people stay grounded during challenging material. Together these approaches offer both reflective support and skill-based interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess symptoms, preferences, and goals, then adjusts strategies over time so the plan fits practical needs and therapeutic aims. Online formats make that collaboration accessible through multiple communication styles.

Services are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limits. These options help people maintain continuity of care and access therapy in ways that fit day-to-day life.
