Alexis Hilling, LPC

Alexis Hilling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or big life changes. She also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and career questions.

Alexis uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of change. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on small steps that add up to real differences in daily life.

Her work blends practical tools with an understanding, client-centered style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach when it helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping strategies when clients need them.

Alexis pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships, including codependency, control issues, and commitment worries. She helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild trust with themselves and others. Money stress, career transitions, and midlife questions are addressed in the same practical way.

People working with Alexis can expect a collaborative pace and concrete homework between sessions. She frames therapy as a process of learning new skills and practicing them in real life. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better day-to-day functioning.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Work Online

Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, helping them feel heard while they decide what changes to make.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for regulating feelings, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those skills fit a client's needs.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines to determine what methods to use. Clients help shape the plan and can try techniques in small steps to see what works best.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video can support real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between meetings.
