What Hanna works with
Everything Hanna lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Hanna's practice.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online therapy
Hanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building. One common approach teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to lower stress and manage anger in the moment; these are simple steps people can practice between sessions. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process past events at a pace they can tolerate while learning ways to reduce triggers and unwanted reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanna listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together they review what helps most and adjust the plan as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online therapy offers options to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These choices make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and busy days.
