About Hannah

Hannah Thayer is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with five years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. She focuses on building a welcoming space where clients can explore motivation, self-esteem, and confidence in ways that feel manageable and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

Hannah emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps toward a more satisfying life. Her work also addresses related areas such as attachment challenges, body image, communication struggles, guilt and shame, life purpose, and patterns connected to personality difficulties and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Hannah integrates evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to tailor sessions to each person’s situation. She aims to help people build skills, notice unhelpful patterns, and take values-guided action while honoring their pace and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Hannah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. Both approaches aim to create practical steps clients can apply between sessions to improve daily functioning and well-being.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting plans as needed so the work feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to what matters most to the client rather than delivering a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to receive support from familiar surroundings. These formats can increase access to consistent care and allow clients and therapists to try different communication styles to find what best supports progress.
