Hannia Burke-Aguero , LPC

Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience. She offers steady, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a bicultural perspective to sessions.

Hannia works in a collaborative way. She listens first to what feels most urgent, then helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps clients can use between meetings to feel more in control. Her approach aims to reduce worry, ease mood struggles, and improve communication in important relationships.

She supports people dealing with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness. She also helps with relationship conflict, divorce and separation, and issues tied to pregnancy and childbirth. Financial strain, midlife questions, and life purpose conversations are part of her day-to-day work as well.

In trauma work she uses approaches designed for people with panic, post-traumatic stress, or lingering effects of past harm. For mood and anxiety concerns she often uses methods that help reframe patterns of thinking and practice new behaviors. Motivational techniques are used when someone wants help finding direction or making life changes.

Outside the office Hannia spends time with family and grandchildren and enjoys cooking, gardening, exercise, and home projects. Her practical style is shaped by a long career and by everyday life as a bilingual, bicultural person.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Hannia uses several evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and find direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and improve focus during stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and strengthen commitment when facing life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and hold a longer session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or when travel is not convenient.
