Hilary Stover is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in South Carolina and Oregon with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adolescents and adults across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings within community agencies, private hospitals, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and her own private practice. Providing therapy through a virtual platform has become a preferred modality for her, as it reduces barriers and allows clients to connect in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
Hilary draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she holds certifications in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Focused Health Coaching. Treatment is individualized; she selects and adapts techniques based on each person’s specific needs, goals, and circumstances.
Clients can expect a therapeutic stance that is warm and empathetic yet direct and goal-oriented. Hilary emphasizes honesty, consistent support, and practical skill-building, working with individuals to develop cognitive and behavioral coping strategies for managing stress and difficult situations. She also focuses on identifying and leveraging each person’s existing strengths to promote adaptation and growth.
Believing that meaningful change depends on both action and a strong therapeutic relationship, Hilary partners with clients to identify patterns that maintain being “stuck” and to replace them with more helpful thoughts and behaviors. When a person is ready to begin, she looks forward to meeting them, learning their story, and supporting them in moving toward the life they want to live.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions, research and clinical practice indicate that remote therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is convenience and flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits them best, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change providers if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, virtual care removes logistical obstacles and creates clearer pathways to engaging in regular therapeutic work.
