Jennifer Hillberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her tone is warm and encouraging, aimed at people taking a first step toward feeling better.
She uses practical, skills-based work in sessions. That can include recognizing unhelpful thoughts, learning ways to manage strong emotions, and practicing new communication habits. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals and try small changes that fit daily life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods lead to concrete exercises, short-term goals, and attention to what works between sessions. She keeps conversations direct and focused on coping tools people can use right away.
Jennifer has nine years of experience working in mental health and has worked with a range of people affected by military life and civilian stressors. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through painful events and practice new skills.
Clients can expect a blend of listening and active skill teaching. Sessions often include thought-work, emotion regulation techniques, and goal-focused planning to help clients move toward clearer purpose and improved day-to-day functioning.
How Jennifer’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, useful for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit their needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively by assigning practical between-session tasks and reviewing progress regularly to keep work focused and goal oriented.
