About Hannah
Hannah Heitz is a California licensed psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She combines practical, evidence-based methods with a warm, collaborative style to support everyday coping and resilience. She earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and completed fellowship work focused on health-related concerns, including cancer and cardiovascular issues.
That background shapes her understanding of how illness, caregiving, and chronic pain can affect mood and daily functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Hannah works with clients to identify what’s most pressing, build simple strategies for stress and anxiety, and test changes between meetings. The focus is on skills people can use in real life, like managing worry, pacing activity with health needs, and handling transitions.
She pays attention to identity and culture, and adapts practical tools to each person’s situation. Hannah aims to make therapy feel respectful and relatable rather than clinical or distant. Her five years of clinical experience include traditional practice and work in digital mental health settings.
That mix informs how she offers care across video, phone, chat, and messaging formats to fit different schedules and comfort levels. People who want hands-on strategies for anxiety or clearer ways to cope with caregiving, illness, or a life transition may find this approach useful. Hannah meets clients where they are and works with them step by step.
How evidence-based approaches translate online
Hannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and stress in ways people can use day to day. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing worry and stress - learning to notice anxious thoughts, test them against reality, and try new coping behaviors to reduce overwhelm. Another approach helps people manage the effects of chronic illness or caregiving by pacing activity, problem solving around symptoms, and planning for self-care so stress feels more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts tools as progress is made and checks in often so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy makes this flexibility easier. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and run skill-building exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing problem-solving and quick skill practice between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when schedules change.
