About Hannah
Hannah Gibson is a licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. She uses a collaborative style and encourages clients to set practical goals. Hannah aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure about therapy.
Hannah earned her graduate degree from Indiana University in 2012 and is pursuing a doctorate in psychology. That ongoing training gives her exposure to new approaches and fresh ways to support people. She draws on a mix of methods rather than a single technique, tailoring work to each person’s needs.
Her practice includes Motivational Interviewing, which supports people making behavioral changes. She also uses attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are offered to help with mood, panic, and stress management.
In sessions Hannah prioritizes building a trusting relationship and practical problem solving. She tends to use straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and skills practice more than technical jargon. People who feel stuck with guilt, loneliness, work stress, or repeated relationship problems may find this approach useful.
She lists focus areas such as trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. Additional topics include family of origin problems, communication difficulties, codependency, and life purpose. Hannah works from Kentucky and conducts sessions in English.

How Hannah’s approaches translate to online care
Many clients benefit from clear, goal-oriented methods. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their own reasons for change through guided conversation and practical planning. It can be useful when someone is trying to change habits, reduce substance use, or build healthier routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections. This approach can help people who struggle with abandonment, trust, or repeating relationship cycles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s priorities lead the work and pacing.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hannah will work together with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative plan can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also accommodates people who prefer to speak without video or who need a session that fits between work or caregiving responsibilities. -
