About Hannah

Hannah Herrin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on eleven years of clinical experience to support clients working through issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, body image concerns, and problems with impulse control. Her approach blends structured techniques with a compassionate, person-focused stance to help individuals find clearer ways forward.

Using a mix of cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, emotionally-focused work, and motivational interviewing, she tailors treatment to what each client finds most useful. Hannah emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical skills that can be applied between sessions, while also attending to deeper emotional patterns like shame, emptiness, and difficulties with communication or forgiveness.

Based in Illinois, she offers a practice that aims to balance evidence-based tools with empathy and real-world problem solving.

Practical approaches for online healing and change

Hannah frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change patterns that contribute to addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own goals and pace of change.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when deeper patterns in relationships or emotional responses are central to a person’s concerns; this approach helps people explore and reorganize emotional experiences to improve coping and connection. Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process, and she works with each client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These formats allow scheduling that fits busy lives and make it easier to continue work through transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while retaining the same therapeutic focus on skills, insight, and progress.
