About Hannah
Hannah Bernard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Hannah also supports people dealing with medical challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness, grief, and issues around purpose and isolation.
She takes a flexible, collaborative approach that centers the person's own goals. Sessions focus on building practical skills, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that matter day to day. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make decisions they feel good about.
Hannah blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. She may use solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change. These methods are used to address mood concerns, anxiety, and problems with communication or commitment.
Her work often involves helping people adjust during major life events such as illness, fertility challenges, aging, hospice care, or caregiving roles. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, codependency, guilt or shame, and family tensions. Practical coping skills and clearer thinking about choices are common session topics.
Hannah offers therapy statewide from California via telehealth. Sessions are conducted in English. To get started she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Hannah commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and placing the client's goals at the center of each session. It helps when someone needs space to clarify values or make personal decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches specific tools to reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness practice involves short attention exercises and grounding strategies to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Hannah collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts approaches as progress is made. That shared planning helps keep sessions practical and relevant to everyday concerns.
The biography notes she offers telehealth statewide from California but does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online session types are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on practical skill practice between meetings.
