How Hannah’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and taking small actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people develop safer ways of relating and communicating with partners or family.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will listen to your goals and try methods that suit your needs. Together you can adapt techniques over time, mixing practical skill-building with deeper relational work when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skills practice, or ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, parenting routine, or times of transition.
