Hillary Paige Gorman, LPC

Hillary Paige Gorman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon. She has about 15 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday strain of parenting and caregiving. Her approach is straightforward and person-centered, focused on listening first and building practical steps that fit each person's life.

Hillary aims to help people notice what is getting in the way and try small changes that add up. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with narrative and attachment-informed ideas to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, make sense of painful experiences, and strengthen important relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Her background includes many years working with youth and families around anxiety and depression, and she brings that experience into sessions with adults as well. She values the strengths people already have and uses those as a starting point for new strategies. Hillary also supports parents dealing with burnout and compassion fatigue.

In therapy she blends listening with concrete tools - thought work, problem solving, and story-based reflection. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through current challenges and practical ideas to try between sessions.

Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. Hillary offers a mix of video, phone, chat, and text-based formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Hillary’s Approaches Work Online

Hillary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical steps and experiments people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hillary will listen to goals, try ideas, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people talk face to face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try therapeutic tools in real time.
