About Nolan
Nolan "Thomas" Hill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. He focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression, and also helps people dealing with guilt and shame, forgiveness, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.
He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background gives him practical insight into different stages of recovery and treatment. He says each stage brings its own challenges and realities, and he uses that knowledge when planning sessions.
Nolan uses structured, evidence-based techniques to address trauma and addiction. He works to reduce avoidance, manage triggers, and create relapse prevention steps that can be practiced between sessions. Sessions also include skill-building to help people handle strong emotions and cravings.
His approach emphasizes clear steps and measurable skills rather than vague reassurance. Conversations are focused on what is getting in the way now and on small, practical strategies to change that. He aims to help people carry fewer burdens from past events and act more consistently with their values.
People who bring guilt or shame into sessions will find that those feelings are named and worked through alongside trauma symptoms, mood concerns, and addiction patterns. Nolan helps people identify unhelpful beliefs that keep guilt alive and practices alternatives that can reduce its intensity. He asks clients to try specific exercises between meetings so change happens outside the therapy hour as well.
Using evidence-based trauma work in online sessions
Many of the techniques Nolan uses are structured and skills-focused. Cognitive Processing Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts that come from traumatic events, which can ease shame and guilt tied to those memories. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills so strong feelings feel more manageable and less overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust based on what fits a person's goals and comfort. The focus is on what actually helps the person make different choices and feel less dominated by past events.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when life is busy. Licensed professionals can adapt these evidence-based techniques to work in remote sessions, including practicing skills together and setting concrete between-session tasks.
