About Twila
Twila Hartmans is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers her work on helping people make meaning of difficult life events.

Twila has 27 years of experience in clinical work in Kentucky. Much of her practice has involved supporting people through healing after loss, abandonment, and abuse.
Background and approach
She pays close attention to how worry, fear, and low confidence affect day-to-day life. Her style emphasizes the person’s own story. She treats each person as the expert on their life and follows the client's pace.
Sessions focus on practical coping tools alongside deeper reflection about meaning and purpose. Twila combines Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral tools and existential ideas about choice and responsibility. That mix lets people work on immediate symptoms like panic or low mood while also talking through life direction and values.
People who seek her help often bring concerns such as parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and family conflict. Twila also addresses adoption and attachment issues, blended family challenges, and forgiveness work. In sessions she helps identify strengths, teach coping strategies, and support continued growth.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care and meaning-making
Twila commonly draws on Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and life purpose and can help when people feel stuck or uncertain about direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools for immediate symptom relief while also opening space for existential questions about values and purpose.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls make it easier to read facial cues and maintain a conversational flow. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats help people access therapy while balancing work, parenting, and other life demands.
