About Hiram
Hiram Faircloth is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and coping with life changes, and he lists guilt and shame among his focus areas.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and Developmental Counseling Theory. Sessions tend to focus on understanding what keeps painful feelings active, and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Faircloth trained in clinical mental health counseling, completing a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology at Troy University and an Educational Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health at Auburn University at Montgomery. He also holds National Certified Counselor recognition alongside his Alabama LPC credential. His work history includes community mental health, university counseling centers, and inpatient behavioral hospital settings.
He describes himself as an affirming counselor who has additional education related to LGBTGEQIAP+ communities and people involved in BDSM and alternative sexual cultures. That background informs how he talks about identity, consent, and relationship boundaries during sessions.
In practice he helps people name the thoughts and patterns that feed guilt or shame, test small changes, and build clear coping skills. Conversations are framed around the person’s current concerns and everyday life, with attention to practical tools and clearer communication.
To begin, a person typically completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session, where goals and next steps are discussed.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Hiram Faircloth blends Cognitive Behavioral approaches, person-centered ideas, and mindfulness-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. Person-centered ideas prioritize the person’s perspective and feelings, making space to talk through shame without judgment. Mindfulness-based methods offer short practices to reduce reactivity and build attention to the present moment.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That means talking about what feels useful, adjusting methods over time, and choosing exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people also find video or voice sessions let them focus on conversation without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so sessions connect with everyday life.
