About Alexis
Alexis Hilling is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Alexis uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, doable goals. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out different ways to respond.
Background and approach
The aim is to make real changes that fit daily life. Her approach borrows from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. That means sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person, shifting unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills.
She uses straightforward tools people can use between sessions. People often come when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about next steps. Alexis pays attention to issues like codependency, commitment and control struggles, money stress, postpartum depression, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She also addresses anger, self-esteem, social anxiety, and adjustment after disasters. Sessions are offered in English and can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.
Alexis aims to make the process simple so people can begin making changes quickly.
How therapy approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist offers acceptance and helps people clarify their values and goals, which can feel useful when facing life changes or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that reduce anxiety, low mood, or avoidance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing conflict, and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication techniques.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what you want to achieve, try out techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. This helps make sure the work feels relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let you meet face-to-face; phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or easier when internet is limited; live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
