About Myoung

Myoung Shin Hilson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience who welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and invites clients to bring whatever feels important to them. Sessions are conducted in English and Korean and are based in Wyoming.

Hilson uses mindfulness practices alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact. She emphasizes gentle awareness of the present moment and practical steps that can reduce overwhelm. Conversation may include skills for handling panic, managing mood swings, or improving communication in close relationships.

Her work also addresses trauma, abuse, compassion fatigue, substance-related concerns, and family-of-origin issues. She supports people working through grief, caregiving stress, aging-related concerns, and life transitions like divorce or career change. The focus is on building coping skills and identifying personal strengths.

Therapy is described as a collaborative process where insight and small changes add up over time. Hilson frames growth as learning more about one’s inner life and practicing being present rather than only fixing symptoms. Her style blends practical strategies with reflective exploration.

Clients choosing to begin will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Cost varies with location and is provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy here means simple practices that bring attention to the present moment and the body. These practices can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and steady mood by teaching brief exercises and ways to notice thoughts without getting swept away.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters to them so they can decide on next steps and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to change them. CBT is useful for panic, depression, and behavior changes that support daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try different methods, adjust techniques, and pick what fits the client’s goals and preferences. That shared decision-making helps sessions stay relevant and workable.

Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit more easily into busy lives and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule short check-ins, keep a consistent routine, or meet from different locations when needed. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so arrangements match personal circumstances.
