About Hillary
Hillary Haarmann is a Missouri-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She draws on two decades of experience supporting adults through life transitions, addiction concerns, grief, and mood differences. Her approach centers on practical steps and real goals.
Hillary keeps sessions focused and straightforward. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses solution-focused work to break concerns into small, achievable steps that build momentum.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices appear in her sessions as short exercises to lower reactivity and increase focus. Client-centered elements mean the conversation stays guided by each person’s needs and values. That combination aims to help people feel more in control day to day.
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and a master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis. Hillary has 20 years of experience providing talk therapy for a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions can address specific issues such as communication problems, intimacy-related questions, caregiving stress, and challenges tied to cancer or chronic illness. She supports people through parenting stress and helps them find practical strategies that fit their lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with listening to each person’s concerns and goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people decide what changes feel right for them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is used to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and create more reliable coping skills through clear steps and practice exercises.
Hillary treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about what feels most useful and try different tools to see what fits. Together they set goals, track progress, and adjust plans based on what works.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer typing to speaking.
