Trina Hill, LCSW

Trina Hill is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Trina emphasizes collaboration so clients feel part of the plan rather than told what to do.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to help people live by their values even when emotions are intense. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and long-standing ways of relating to others.

With eight years as an LCSW, she brings real-world clinical experience in Illinois. That background includes supporting people through substance use struggles, trauma and abuse recovery, and the pain of loss.

Trina often helps people manage panic, obsessive thoughts, caregiver stress, chronic illness concerns, and issues around guilt and forgiveness. Conversations may include setting small goals, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways to communicate.

She works in English and offers several online session formats to fit different needs. To get started, a simple matching questionnaire connects clients to scheduling and next steps.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Trina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on helping people act in line with their values even when strong emotions are present. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her view of relationship patterns and helps when communication problems or long-standing trust issues come up.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will listen to your concerns, try out methods, and adjust based on what helps you meet your goals. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues matter; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
