Hillary Paige Gorman, LPC

Hillary Paige Gorman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with 15 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Much of her professional background centers on working with youth and families who navigate anxiety and depression, bringing that experience into a collaborative and strengths-based practice.

Grounded in trauma-informed and client-centered principles, she treats each person as the expert of their own story and helps identify existing strengths to address current challenges. She draws on a variety of modalities to meet individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Collaborative Problem Solving, and trauma-informed care, tailoring approaches to what will be most helpful for each client.

Hillary aims to create a supportive space where goals are set together and progress moves at a comfortable pace. As an LPC - a licensed professional counselor - she emphasizes practical tools and compassionate presence to help clients take meaningful steps toward their goals, and she recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hillary integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the individual’s goals and values guide the work - this approach supports self-exploration and strengthens confidence. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity and opening possibilities for new perspectives and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hillary works collaboratively to determine what fits best with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Hillary offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect from a comfortable setting while receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
