About Hannah
Hannah Herrin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Hannah also focuses on concerns such as guilt and shame, body image, and difficulties with impulse control.
Her style centers on listening and helping people name what is happening for them. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods rather than long theory talks. Sessions tend to look at thoughts and behaviors, emotional responses, and immediate steps a person can try between meetings.
Hannah blends client-centered core work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when change is a goal. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand painful feelings, and Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of moment-to-moment experience. These approaches are used to address mood problems, panic symptoms, substance use, and struggles with self-worth.
In sessions she helps people talk through what they regret, worry about, or feel ashamed of, and then develops practical strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. She pays attention to how habits, relationships, and thinking patterns interact with those feelings.
Hannah practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. People who are considering starting work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Hannah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can help when guilt or shame make talking feel hard. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking or behaviors. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes exploring a person's own reasons for change and building motivation one step at a time.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss the options with each person and adapt methods based on the individual's needs, goals, and preferences. That means agreeing together on practical steps and which skills to try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Therapists can use tools from CBT and mindfulness in remote sessions so people can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
