About Hannah
Hannah Herrin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She draws on eleven years of practice to help people manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of control. Hannah uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help clients sort what matters most to them and plan next steps.
Her work leans on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness tools. Sessions often include practical skill-building - for example, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, practicing grounding exercises, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment shape the problem.
Hannah has particular experience with addiction and mood-related concerns. That background informs how she structures recovery-focused work and relapse prevention planning. She helps people weigh options, set achievable goals, and rebuild routines that support well-being.
People who choose Hannah can expect a calm, direct approach that balances goal-setting with emotional exploration. She encourages clear communication about goals and adapts techniques to fit each person's pace and preferences. Her practice is based in Illinois and sessions are conducted in English.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to the next available appointment. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
How Hannah Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making space for each person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel relevant and respectful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. Online CBT sessions often include tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and practicing coping skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck with habits like substance use or avoidance. It uses open questions and reflective listening to boost motivation and plan achievable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adapt as progress unfolds. This is a collaborative process so adjustments are expected as needs become clearer.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days by removing travel and allowing appointments during work breaks, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access from different locations.
