About Hillary

Hillary Massie is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with nine years of professional clinical experience helping people address stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. She emphasizes practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting to help clients build coping skills and increase confidence.

Background and approach

Her approach blends structured, evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered stance. Clients can expect space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment while working on concrete tools for managing panic, mood shifts, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose or isolation.

Hillary also supports people through pregnancy and childbirth transitions and women's issues with sensitivity. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and focuses on meeting each person where they are.

By combining motivational techniques, solution-focused planning, and systemic thinking with cognitive-behavioral strategies, she tailors the process to individual needs and priorities.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Hillary often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress management. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so people feel heard as they explore self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship challenges.

She may also draw on motivational interviewing to support readiness and commitment to change, particularly around addictive behaviors and lifestyle shifts. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to match strategies to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit different schedules. These options allow clients to engage in skills practice, brief check-ins, or deeper weekly sessions from wherever they are located in Ohio, making care more flexible and easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
