About Hilary
Dr. Hilary DeShong helps people navigate money worries alongside other life stresses. She works with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. Her practice also addresses workplace problems, burnout and compassion fatigue, and issues tied to chronic illness and pain.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Conversations aim to identify what matters to each person and build small, doable steps toward those goals. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance-based work, and skills for emotion regulation.
DeShong describes her approach as warm and collaborative. She creates an affirming atmosphere where people can speak honestly about setbacks, shame, and financial stress without judgement. The goal is to help people find better ways to cope and make decisions that fit their values.
With 12 years of experience, she blends problem-solving with acceptance and skill-building. That means learning ways to manage panic or sleep problems while also exploring life purpose and self-care. Her background supports work on communication, impulsivity, and isolation as well.
She holds an MS and practices as a psychologist in Mississippi. Sessions are aimed at adults seeking change, clarity, or practical tools for everyday challenges. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling directly through the Start Therapy process.
Online approaches that match your goals
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and commit to actions that align with those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete tools to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy encourages steady attention to the present moment and simple practices that can reduce rumination and improve sleep.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation usually begins in early sessions and can shift as goals change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and fewer travel demands, which can help people keep regular sessions during workweeks or life transitions. Online care can also make shorter check-ins possible when bandwidth is limited or a quick follow-up is needed. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking to match the approach and timing that work best for daily life.
