Hildegard Hyde

Hildegard Hyde is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of clinical practice experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, depression, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. She brings a steady, non-judgmental presence to therapy, using active listening and thoughtful feedback so clients feel heard while they explore what is happening, what they want to change, and what matters most to them.

Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. She offers space for clients to share at their own pace and works alongside them to clarify goals, strengthen motivation, and build practical self-care skills that can support meaningful change. Along the way, she helps clients identify strengths, passions, and personal resources that may have been overshadowed by stress, low confidence, or difficult circumstances.

Hildegard uses an eclectic approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy. She aims to meet clients where they are and often views the work as short-term and solution-focused, emphasizing learnable skills and realistic next steps. She also holds the perspective that each person is the expert on their own life story and can draw on existing strengths to move through challenges with support.
