About Hilda
Her practice serves a broad range of individuals, from older adults to young professionals, and places particular attention on multicultural experiences and intergenerational patterns. Hilda works with clients facing chronic health concerns, caregiving stress, grief and end-of-life issues, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with stress, self-esteem struggles, panic and mood disorders, postpartum challenges, and the social isolation that can accompany major life transitions.
Hilda draws from evidence-based methods while honoring each person’s unique story, helping clients build self-compassion, stronger coping skills, and more adaptive ways of relating to others. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical tools, and the creation of an affirming environment where meaningful change can take place.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own expertise about their life. It focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting individuals as they explore their feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for relationship challenges, self-esteem work, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management by teaching concrete skills to cope with symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an evidence-informed method often used for trauma-related symptoms. It helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Hilda will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
