How her methods translate to online work
Hannah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in session. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or panic going, and it often uses short exercises to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and handle strong feelings a bit more easily.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when emotion patterns and close relationships are part of the problem. That approach helps people name feelings and notice how those patterns affect what they do next. Together these approaches give options for skills practice, emotion awareness, and clearer decision-making.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will check in about what feels most helpful and adjust methods to match the client’s needs and goals. Sessions can include skills practice, short behavioral experiments, and guided mindfulness exercises as appropriate.
