About Hannia
Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of practice based in Missouri. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing relationship problems, grief, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a bicultural perspective to her work.
Hannia uses evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building practical skills, and setting small, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and pace is set to match what each person can handle. She also helps people who struggle with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and the fallout of separation and divorce. Other areas she addresses include panic attacks, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, loneliness, and issues around life purpose and midlife shifts.
Financial stress and feelings of guilt or shame are common topics in her work. People who prefer a therapist who mixes problem-solving with emotional support may find her style helpful. She draws on approaches that involve mindful awareness, practical thinking tools, and action-focused exercises.
Her bilingual skills make her able to work with English- or Spanish-speaking clients who want a therapist who understands multicultural issues. Outside of counseling she enjoys time with family and grandchildren, exercise, cooking, gardening, and home projects. Travel and learning about other cultures inform her perspective on adjustment and identity changes.
Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Hannia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. These tools help reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change patterns that feed depression. Mindfulness-based practices are another part of her work and involve simple attention exercises that reduce reactivity and help people stay present during stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting pace and techniques as progress unfolds. The aim is to find practical steps that fit daily life and the specific problems being faced.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
