Meet Your Counselor

Hi, I’m Hillary Locklear, Founder/CEO of Redeemed Hope Counseling, PLLC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families experience healing and growth so they can live as their best, most authentic selves.

I provide counseling for teens and adults (ages 14 and older) who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, relationship concerns, and spiritual struggles. I also offer premarital and marriage counseling to help couples build healthy, lasting connections grounded in communication, understanding, and faith.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based techniques, transactional analysis, and a faith-informed perspective. I believe that true healing involves both practical tools for change and spiritual renewal — addressing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

I became a therapist because I have a deep desire to help people heal from their pain, rediscover hope, and move forward with greater confidence and peace. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they grow, heal, and embrace the fullness of who they are created to be.
