Dr. Hill-Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with more than two decades of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and forgiveness work. In sessions she centers the conversation on your needs and goals. She adapts discussion and plans to fit how you prefer to work, using tools from cognitive and behavioral therapies as well as acceptance and commitment ideas.
She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based approaches to build trust and understanding. People can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and skills to try between meetings. She aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her background includes 22 years of clinical practice across settings in Florida. Dr. Hill-Thompson accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
She offers multiple ways to connect, and will help you decide which format suits your schedule and goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them decide actions. It focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters, which can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical exercises to change them, often useful for mood disorders and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationship patterns - how early bonds shape present connections - and it can be useful for intimacy and family conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to find which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed path.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text are convenient for short check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the same therapeutic tools you would in person.
