About Hilary

Hilary Stover is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of professional experience who blends structured, evidence-based techniques with a warm, goal-oriented style.

Background and approach

She holds LISW-CP and LCSW credentials and practices from South Carolina, drawing on a varied clinical background that includes work in community agencies, personal hospitals, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and independent practice.

Her work emphasizes practical coping skills and measurable steps toward change, using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. Hilary addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges related to health, sleep, and parenting.

She aims to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with strategies that promote emotional improvement and goal attainment. In virtual sessions she prioritizes building a strong therapeutic relationship while offering flexibility in communication.

Her manner is described as warm, empathetic, and appropriately challenging, with an emphasis on identifying strengths, teaching coping skills, and supporting clients as they take actionable steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Hilary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and stress. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness, which can help with impulsivity, mood swings, and coping under pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hilary works with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and she adapts techniques over time so the plan fits evolving needs.

Online formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication, and she provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet clients where they are. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy in ways that fit a client's routine and comfort level.
