About Hallie

Hallie Orton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD-related concerns. She is identified as LCSW and LICSW and brings four years of clinical experience to clients in Minnesota.

Background and approach

Hallie focuses on practical coping skills and emotional regulation to help clients manage life transitions, relationship and family tensions, eating and body-image issues, and challenges such as chronic illness, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Her practice draws on evidence-based methods to promote clearer thinking and steadier functioning.

Hallie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-oriented strategies and skills training to address avoidance, rumination, and overwhelming emotions. She also integrates motivational interviewing and client-centered principles to support clients’ values, goals, and autonomy.

Hallie offers therapy through text-based formats and messaging, and she aims to respond to clients promptly while tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and strengths.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Hallie commonly applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. ACT helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action, which can be useful for stress, grief, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hallie works with each person to explore what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions. This collaborative stance allows treatment to be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity through transitions, and access support without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT strategies to work effectively across these formats, focusing on skills practice, values-based planning, and cognitive reframing during remote sessions.
