About Hilda

Hilda Guerra is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who helps people facing parenting stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, ADHD concerns, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away and treats each person as the expert on their own story.

Background and approach

Hilda draws on approaches like the Gottman Method, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques to shape sessions. She listens first, then helps clients spot patterns that keep them stuck.

Conversations often include clear strategies to manage stress, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and improve communication. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She encourages small experiments between sessions, such as short behavior changes or new ways of speaking with others. Progress is tracked in simple terms so people can see what works and what needs adjusting.

Hilda has three years of experience as an LPC working in Texas mental health settings. She values multicultural concerns and women's issues and is comfortable addressing workplace struggles, blended family dynamics, and relationship communication problems.

Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish, and Hilda uses motivational interviewing and existential questions when people want to clarify life purpose or strengthen self-love. She aims to meet people where they are and help build skills for calmer days and clearer choices.

Online approaches and practical therapy options

Hilda uses the Gottman Method to help people notice interaction patterns and learn clearer ways of communicating. That approach is often useful when relationship communication and recurring conflicts are a concern.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting a person's own goals back so they can guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, stress, and mood changes.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Hilda works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn't helping and adjusts plans together as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text let people do shorter check-ins, get prompts between sessions, or keep therapy going during busy weeks. These options let therapy fit around work, parenting, and daily life.
