About me
Hi, I’m Hilary! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon. I have around 10 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, self-esteem, stress, motivation, health and wellness, anger, parenting, coping with life challenges and adjustments to life changes. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings.
My passion is to help teens and their families move forward by taking the steps needed to move in the direction wanted. To do that, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I am warm, gentle and empathetic, yet firm and will push teens to reach their goals through honesty, support and effective techniques. As everyone is different, I also tailor these approaches to the specific needs, goals, and situations of each client. When working with teens, I also strive to build on each client’s strengths and fostering their relationships with their family, peers and support network. I work with each client to develop and practice coping skills to manage the stress, changes and turmoil that can occur during the teenage years.
I often reinforce to my clients that if you continue to do what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten. So, what does all of this mean if you choose to begin therapy? It simply means we will work together to figure out how to change. We will find some thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you “stuck,” and find more helpful thoughts and behaviors that lead to feeling better emotionally and reaching your goals.
I also believe the basis of any life-changing journey is a strong therapeutic relationship, and I enjoy spending time getting to know each client to foster that support.
When you and your teen are ready, I look forward meeting you, getting to know you, and supporting and empowering you to reach your goals and live a fulfilling life.

She's the absolute best.
Talking to Hilary is akin to having a conversation with with the physical representation of all that is positive about humanity. She has helped me reinforce and retain my belief that people are inherently good, which has made a world of difference in my life.
Hillary is always there for me. She gives me strategies to cope.
Hilary is amazing and insightful. So thankful to have her !
Hilary is truly an exceptional therapist. I was ready to give up on therapy until Hilary was recommended to me. She’s incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, kind, and extremely well spoken. Not only does she help me with processing life’s many inconsistencies and troubles, but also helps me be kinder to myself and accept all parts of me. I am not sure if I’ll ever be able to fully put into words how much she has helped me. I now recommend therapy to all of my friends and family because of my exceptional therapist.
She has helped me with a lot of changed and uncertainty the last couple of months. I truly appreciate how encouraging she is.
Hilary is a wonderful counselor. She has given me so many tools, and new ways to use these tools that I never thought of before on my own. She is supportive, yet challenging and very personable. I highly recommend her!

Hilary Stover is a lovely human being and a wonderful therapist.
Hilary is insightful and supportive. I’ve been working with her on and off for the past year and she has helped me work through quite a bit. I’m so thankful to have found a counselor that hears me and helps me.
I am early in my therapy, but Hillary is very attentive to and curious about my needs and perspectives. I am grateful for the guidance she has offered so far.
I took a break from teencounseling.com for a year due to financial strain, but the whole year I couldn't wait to talk to Hilary again. She's incredibly caring, and listens in an unbiased, professional manner. I have benefited greatly from my sessions with her, and have recommended several friends to teencounseling.com because of her.
I have worked with Hilary for some time now and she has truly been amazing for my growth, trauma processing, anxiety and depression. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with these issues.
Hilary is AMAZING! She has a way of wording things that help me understand and think about what is going on in my head. She is helping me learn a lot about myself and has already gotten me through a very grief-filled start of the year. I am happy I sought help on teencounseling.com, and I am very thankful I got paired with Hilary!

Hillary has been a huge help in getting me to be a better person. She is very relaxing and not judgemental whatsoever.
It has been very helpful having Hilary Amy counselor. I've had trouble looking at my lie in more than one way and the exercises she gives me can be challenging but also have been eye opening. I feel like I can trust her entirely.
Hilary is very knowledgeable in her field. We have worked together for a few weeks and she has been so supportive!!!
Hilary has been the most incredible supporter of mine at a difficult time in my life. Though my physical and mental health fluctuate from day today, she always meets me right where I am and helps me to get through the tougher moments as well as celebrate progress and achievements. Hilary is an integral part of my health team and I wouldn't want to do it without her.
Hilary is a fantastic counselor; unpretentious, conscientious, and extraordinarily dependable. Her compassion is palpable - she understands, and helped me understand, the value of expression through this process. Her ear and insight have been invaluable to me, and I'll be forever grateful.
Hilary is so compassionate and understanding. She is also firm in helping you deal with thoughts and feelings! She is a 10/10!
Hilary is absolutely wonderful! She is attentive, encouraging, compassionate and warm. She is also cheerful and embodies the qualities that teens who are struggling can see as something they can develop within themselves. What an amazing counselor and person! A gift to the world!
Hilary Stover is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. She's helped me so much in such a short period of time. She's very compassionate, understanding, insightful, and she knows what she's doing.
Hilary is awesome! She has great ideas to work through my concerns and she responds quickly. I have recommended her to my family and friends.
Hilary seems knowledgeable and communicates well. She checks in on a regular basis, which is helpful for me because I am really forgetful.
