About Hannah
Hannah Herrin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She writes in simple language and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone worried about the next step. Hannah combines a client-centered style with practical tools.
She listens first and helps people set clear, doable goals. Sessions often include exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful patterns and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses issues like body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. When addiction is part of the picture, she uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to help people identify next steps that fit their lives.
Across 11 years in the field, Hannah has focused on recovery and on helping people through developmental challenges. She brings steady support and straightforward techniques rather than jargon. Her Illinois LCSW credential is part of how she practices in that state.
Therapy sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Hannah helps clients build coping skills, practice new ways of responding, and track progress over time. The goal is clearer thinking and more useful daily habits.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist listens carefully and helps you set goals that feel realistic for your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it works well for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress by giving concrete skills to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will talk with you about your goals and preferences, then suggest starting techniques and adjust them as you respond. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they fit your priorities and your pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when that helps, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework prompts, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
