Practical approaches for online support

Hannah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing thoughts and behaviors that make stress or anxiety worse, which can help with depression, ADHD-related challenges, and worry. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client finds most useful.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when needed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those skills can be helpful for strong mood swings, anger, and relationship conflicts. Hannah will talk with each person about which approaches make the most sense and will adapt techniques based on goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and skill work, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text-based messaging can be handy for quick check-ins or short coaching-style support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving between sessions.
