Practitioner record · Checked 6 Nov 2026
Hiram Faircloth has been in practice 7 years and is licensed in Alabama. Hiram lists stress, Anxiety, LGBT and career difficulties among 32 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Hiram's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Hiram works with
Hiram lists 5 specialisms and 27 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Hiram chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Hiram's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am an integrative counselor and draw on elements from Developmental Counseling Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness based approaches. I am a graduate of Troy University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program, holding a Master's of Science in Counseling and Psychology and an Educational Specialist Degree in Clinical Mental Health from Auburn University at Montgomery. I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Alabama, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I have prior experience providing therapeutic services in community mental health, university counseling center, and inpatient behavioral hospital settings. I am an affirming counselor and have specialized education working with LGBTGEQIAP+ and sexual minority clients such as persons engaged in the BDSM and similar communities.
Client populations and problem focuses I often aid clients with include adults, traditional and nontraditional college students, older adults, LGBTGEQIAP+ persons, men's issues, vocational concerns, gender identity, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and more.
If you’re looking for a space where you can speak openly, feel respected, and be met without judgment, I’m here to help. Together, we can make sense of what you’re going through, build practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change. When you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to work with you.

03 · How Hiram works
These are the clinical methods Hiram lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Hiram's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Hiram runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Hiram practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Hiram's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Hiram at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Hiram is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Hiram.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Hiram actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Hiram's - Hiram has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”
Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Hiram's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
