Hildegard Hyde

Hildegard Hyde is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of clinical practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication difficulties, control issues, forgiveness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's concerns. She emphasizes non-judgmental active listening and clear feedback so each person feels acknowledged.

She offers space to share challenges and to set practical goals. Alongside supportive problem solving, Hildegard helps identify existing strengths and passions, then uses those resources to develop self-care skills that support day-to-day coping and longer term adjustment. Her style is warm and interactive, guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion without stigmatizing labels.

Her approach is eclectic, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive ideas to meet individuals where they are. She frequently frames work as short-term and solution-focused, believing many people can learn or refine skills to manage life’s bumps. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and seeks to make that first step a constructive part of change.
