She focuses on practical steps clients can take when life feels overwhelming. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with attention to small changes that add up over time.
Hannah draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and build trust.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice and regulate intense feelings. Her work also includes elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address painful emotional patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, simple skills, and regular check-ins. Expect a mix of practical exercises and reflective conversation. Hannah has eleven years of experience as an LCSW in Illinois.
She brings that background to common concerns like panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and struggles with substance use. She also supports people coping with life transitions, communication problems, and finding purpose. People who meet with Hannah usually leave with concrete tools they can use between sessions.
She helps clients set small, manageable steps and revisit progress over time. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice and tolerate uncomfortable feelings without reacting immediately.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hannah will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She often blends approaches and adjusts the plan as the work progresses so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
