About Greg

Greg Hilgert is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 23 years of experience based in North Carolina. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and attention-related struggles. His approach centers on each person as an individual and on practical steps that can make daily life easier.

Greg offers short-term strategies alongside deeper work when needed.

Background and approach

He uses client-centered methods to listen and shape the pace of sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool he uses to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. He also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, as one option for addressing traumatic memories and intense distress when that fits the person's goals.

Mindfulness-based techniques and motivational interviewing are woven in to support focus, emotional regulation, and readiness for change. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. People can expect clear goals, homework when helpful, and a focus on what changes will matter most day to day.

Greg prefers to tailor methods rather than offer a single rigid plan. With two decades of clinical work, he brings experience from varied settings to each session. His practice emphasizes practical skills, careful listening, and helping people find ways to cope and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Online support

How Greg blends evidence-based approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. Greg listens without judgment, follows the person's lead, and adapts session pace and goals to match individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change unhelpful patterns to improve mood and behavior. EMDR offers a structured way to work with distressing memories when those memories are part of the concern and the person chooses that path.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Greg collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. He checks in often and adjusts methods as progress is made or priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper therapeutic work and visual connection, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when in-person visits are difficult.
