About Hillary

Hillary Paige Gorman is an Oregon-licensed LPC with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, eating and anger issues, career transitions, ADHD, and other life changes.

Background and approach

She practices from a trauma-informed, client-centered stance and draws on a mix of therapies to match each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative approaches alongside attachment-focused work. Her background includes extensive work with youth and families, particularly around anxiety and depressive concerns, and she brings practical skills and empathic listening to each session.

Gorman emphasizes collaboration and believes clients bring essential expertise about their own lives and strengths. She aims to help people identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and tell their stories in ways that promote growth and healing.

Prospective clients should expect a respectful, strengths-based partnership that combines evidence-informed techniques with attention to individual preferences and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hillary Paige Gorman uses approaches that combine practical skill building with deeper exploration of personal stories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve coping in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients understand relational dynamics and build healthier connections. Narrative Therapy emphasizes the stories people tell about themselves, offering ways to reframe experiences and highlight strengths rather than problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will tailor methods over time so the work feels useful and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care when travel or other commitments arise. These formats provide flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals to offer consistent support across a variety of communication styles.
