I really lucked out finding Ms Hilary as a therapist. She's incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We share similar life experiences which really helps while I'm on this journey to self improvement. She has a way of explaining things so I understand. And if I don't catch on right away, she is able to find another way. She's very understanding and flexible. As a first timer in therapy, she's made it very easy to open up. Better Help in general offers an awesome amount of resources for users, and I really enjoy the journaling & thought provoking prompts. I'm very grateful for Hilary and all she's helped me to understand of myself as a mother and person, and of others.

Hi! My name is Hilary Jacques. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Bachelor’s degree in 2006 from Florida Atlantic University and a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) in 2008.
I have training in Play Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Filial Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Art Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Brazelton Touchpoints, Infant Mental Health, and Triple P (Positive Parenting Program).
There is an African proverb that says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I am passionate about working with Mothers (including other important caregivers) of the “village” and their children, adolescents, and teens. I work with families who have experienced trauma/PTSD and stress.
During our first appointment, we will have a conversation about the presenting symptoms/behaviors, personal and family history, treatment goals and expectations. We meet as often as we agree to for therapy to talk/play about life experiences, have fun, connect, learn, develop a toolkit of coping skills and calming techniques, and explore and try out new things.
Sounds like a great plan! I look forward to meeting with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
