Myoung Shin Hilson, LPC

Myoung Shin Hilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She speaks English and Korean and works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes, work pressures, or repeated patterns that feel stuck. Her approach aims to make therapy feel practical and down-to-earth so parents and busy adults can use what they learn right away.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered techniques to create a respectful, listening space where people can talk without judgment. Mindfulness ideas are included to help clients learn simple skills for moment-to-moment stress and emotion regulation.

With 15 years of experience, Myoung combines practical tools and space for personal reflection. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps for daily life alongside deeper questions about values and meaning. This makes it possible to address immediate symptoms and longer-term goals at the same time.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is most important to them. Myoung frames therapy as a collaborative process meant to uncover strengths and increase choice in everyday decisions. Many people come away with clearer actions, better coping skills, and a calmer perspective on hard situations.

She is licensed in Texas and Wyoming as an LPC and provides online care from Wyoming. Her practice includes work around trauma and abuse, parenting stress, caregiver strain, substance concerns, and aging-related issues among other focuses.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Myoung uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is hands-on and helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and low mood by breaking big issues into small, testable steps.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes being heard and respected. This approach focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting each person's own goals while the therapist follows the client's lead.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Myoung will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide whether CBT, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, or a blend would be most useful. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth discussion and skill practice. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people choose what matches their daily life and comfort.
