Counselor
Hildebrandt was a Utah licensed counselor since 2005. In 2012, she was the director of LifeStar Utah County, a franchisee of a national company based in Utah that specialized in pornography addiction and sexual addiction.

ConneXions
In 2007, Hildebrandt founded the relationship and business counseling business Connexions (styled ConneXions) in Orem, Utah.

In 2012, Hildebrandt's license was put on probation for 18 months after she "disclosed sensitive confidential information" of a former client to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Brigham Young University between 2008 and 2010, according to Utah Department of Commerce's Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing documents. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that Hildebrandt was no longer on their Family Services' referral list due to the case.

Hildebrandt was a business partner of family YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke, launching a YouTube channel together called ConneXions in 2022, and creating a joint Instagram account called Moms of Truth, offering parenting classes.

By 2023, Hildebrandt had written 24 books and released 22 DVDs over ten years.

On August 30, 2023, Hildebrandt was arrested in Washington County, Utah, and charged with six counts of aggravated child abuse. She surrendered her license as a counselor pending resolution of the court case and a disciplinary investigation. After the arrest of Hildebrandt and Franke, YouTube banned both from the platform. After pleading guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse, she was sentenced in 2024 to four terms of one to 15 years consecutively, the maximum for each count under Utah law.
