    About Hannah

    Hannah Herrin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take small usable steps forward.

    Hannah blends person-centered conversation with practical tools. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill-building, and moment-to-moment reflection. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

    Her work also draws on emotionally focused and mindfulness-based ways of working. That means paying attention to feelings in the moment and practicing steps that reduce overwhelm. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s situation and aim for steady, achievable progress.

    Hannah has 11 years of clinical experience and brings that background into each session. She aims to create a calm, direct space where people can talk honestly about setbacks and strengths. People who meet with her leave with practical strategies they can use between sessions.

    To begin, she asks people to identify one or two immediate concerns and then builds a plan from there. This practical focus makes sessions feel purposeful and relevant to daily life.

  2. Approaches you can use in online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people explore their own reasons for change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s motivation and building commitment one step at a time.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help clarify goals and values.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

    Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. They also make it possible to practice skills in real-world moments and bring issues from daily life directly into sessions.
