About Hannah
Dr. Hannah Armbrust is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 13 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and also holds a Virginia license as an LPC.
People come to her when anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship pain feel overwhelming. She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly about what is hard. Sessions focus on understanding emotional patterns and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation rather than jargon. Dr. Armbrust combines client-centered work with psychodynamic and existential ideas.
That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and helps people find personal meaning in difficult moments. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when clients want to try new habits. Her practice often addresses trauma, attachment issues, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.
She also works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and identity questions including gender dysphoria. Treatment goals are practical and personal, tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and she accepts international clients.
The approach is collaborative - she listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people set clear goals. Many clients come away with better self-compassion and clearer ways to handle stress and relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels; it involves open listening, reflecting feelings back, and helping clients decide what matters most to them. This approach is useful for anxiety and stress because it supports self-understanding and practical coping choices.Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns influence current emotions and behavior. In online work this can help people see recurring reactions to stress or relationship conflicts and make different choices over time. Existential therapy invites clients to talk about meaning, choice, and personal values when facing difficult life chapters, which can reduce the sense of being stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of care. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, skill building, exploring past patterns, or a mix of methods based on needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or times when writing out thoughts is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity during transitions.
