About Hana
Hana Gilliom helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep trouble, and major life changes. She also supports people from the LGBT community and those facing family tensions. Hana writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood.
Hana uses a strengths-based, client-centered style. That means she builds on what already works for each person. Sessions are respectful and compassionate, focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She blends several practical approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions connect. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions.
Mindfulness practices help people stay present and reduce worry. Hana has worked in the field for 10 years and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She practices from Indiana and offers services to people in other places as well.
Her background includes supporting people through trauma and life transitions. In sessions she often uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to set clear goals. That means short-term plans and steps you can try right away.
The tone is practical and warm, aimed at making change manageable. Hana encourages a collaborative approach. She and the person she meets set goals together, track progress, and adjust the plan when needed.
The focus is on real-life improvements people can notice day to day.
How Hana’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client set goals together and tailor steps that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time, using short-term goals and regular check-ins so progress is clear and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, and staying connected on a flexible schedule. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and fit it into busy lives.
