About Hilary Stover
Hilary Stover is a licensed clinical social worker who holds clinical social work licenses in South Carolina (LISW-CP) and Oregon (LCSW). These credentials reflect advanced training and authorization to provide clinical social work services in those states.
She has worked with adolescents and adults facing a broad range of concerns, including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, self-esteem difficulties, stress, ADHD, motivation challenges, health and wellness goals, anger, parenting issues, and adjustments to life stressors. Her work settings have included outpatient and inpatient care within community agencies, private hospitals, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and a private practice.
Providing therapy through virtual channels has become a preferred modality for her because it reduces barriers and allows clients to connect in the way that fits their lives. She 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.
Her approach is individualized and collaborative - tailoring techniques to match each person’s situation, goals, and strengths. She maintains a warm, gentle, and empathetic stance while also offering clear guidance and accountability, helping people build and practice cognitive and behavioral coping skills for managing stress and difficult situations.
Hilary emphasizes identifying patterns that keep a person stuck and replacing them with more helpful thoughts and behaviors that support emotional improvement and goal achievement. She values a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change and invests time in getting to know each person to foster that support. When someone is ready, she looks forward to meeting them and supporting their progress toward the life they want to live.
