Online support options
How Hannah’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps people feel heard and develop goals that reflect their values rather than a fixed plan from the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum when facing addictions or ambivalence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She will collaborate on a plan that can mix approaches and evolve as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and different ways to stay connected to a therapist while working toward change.
