Hallie Orton

Hallie Orton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling alone, overwhelmed, or stuck. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, relationship strain, and the day-to-day impact of trauma or grief. Hallie also works with people navigating ADHD, life transitions, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Hallie uses clear, practical methods to teach coping skills and improve daily functioning. She focuses on what people want to change and uses short-term strategies to build momentum. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in real-life goals rather than abstract theory.

With four years of clinical experience, Hallie draws from several evidence-based approaches. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions focused on each person’s perspective. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing are used when they match a person’s needs.

On this platform Hallie provides support through messaging. She does not offer video or phone sessions here. Messages are used to exchange reflections, skill suggestions, and short check-ins that fit into a busy day.

Hallie holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices from Minnesota. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Hallie's Online Approaches Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help when someone feels stuck or unmotivated and wants a clearer sense of purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and repetitive worry patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hallie will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts tools and pace based on what is most helpful for that person.

On this platform Hallie provides care through messaging rather than video or phone. Messaging can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy schedule, review skill suggestions in writing, and reflect between exchanges. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
