Background and approach

She believes clients know their lives best and that therapy is a joint effort to solve real problems. Her background includes a doctorate from Indiana University and a Master of Social Work from Case Western Reserve University. Over the years she has completed many psychosocial assessments and treatment plans and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams in healthcare and community settings.

In therapy she combines hands-on strategies with listening and reflection. That can mean cognitive-behavioral exercises to change unhelpful thinking, narrative work to reframe life stories, or solution-focused steps to try between visits. The focus is on what will help someone feel calmer, sleep better, improve relationships, or manage major life changes.

Dr. Hill works with people facing trauma, parenting strain, eating or sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and loneliness or isolation. She also supports those coping with illness, caregiving stress, end-of-life questions, and blended family challenges.

Her style is compassionate, direct, and practical.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship while following the person’s pace and priorities; it helps when someone needs an accepting place to talk through hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people move through ambivalence by exploring their own reasons for change and building motivation for next steps.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels helpful. This collaborative process means methods can be mixed or shifted over time to match needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, while phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or an option when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions and can help with brief check-ins, goal reminders, or step-by-step exercises. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines and to apply skills in day-to-day life.
