About Hillary
Hillary Haarmann is an LCSW with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, addiction concerns, grief, parenting difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She also works with issues related to self-esteem, caregiver and cancer-related stress, communication and commitment problems, and struggles with isolation, guilt, and forgiveness. Her practice emphasizes helping clients clarify goals and regain a sense of direction during midlife shifts, mood disorder episodes, and other periods of change.
Hillary draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients examine and reframe unhelpful thoughts while incorporating solution-focused strategies that build actionable steps toward personal goals. Her work is informed by client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s experience and by mindfulness practices that encourage present-moment awareness.
She aims to empower people by highlighting strengths, offering new perspectives, and fostering practical skills for coping and growth. Based in Missouri, Hillary brings a calm, collaborative approach to therapy and supports a broad range of concerns with thoughtful, goal-oriented care.
She welcomes clients who are ready to explore change and develop strategies for a more fulfilling life.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and relationship stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space so clients can explore values, build self-understanding, and set personal goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to consider goals, preferences, and the specific issues at hand, and then adapts methods as therapy progresses to find what fits best for that individual.
Online sessions provide flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can access care in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency with appointments, try different communication styles, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
