About Hannah
Hannah Thayer is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, and life changes. Hannah aims to make the first step toward help feel doable and clear.
Hannah creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. She encourages honest conversation and helps clients name the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of daily life.
How Hannah works
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at practical change. Her approach draws on several well-known methods like cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and skills-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy. These give people concrete practices to manage overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thinking.
Hannah also pays attention to patterns around attachment, communication problems, and body image. She supports work on habit changes such as smoking or vaping cessation and on concerns like guilt, shame, and finding life purpose. Young adult issues and women's issues are part of her focus areas.
People who prefer a calm, collaborative style often fit well with her way of working. Hannah helps identify small steps that build confidence and improve day-to-day functioning. Her goal is to make therapy practical, understandable, and focused on what each person needs next.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by building willingness to face difficult feelings while taking meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or depression. It uses clear strategies and homework to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for managing anxiety and shame.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt tools as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity between appointments.
