About Hannah

Hannah Brooks is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with three years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Hannah also lists focused areas including adoption and foster care concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness.

Hannah uses straightforward conversation to help people name what’s happening and what matters to them. She encourages honest sharing of thoughts and feelings and pays close attention to what a person is trying to say. Sessions tend to be calm and focused on practical ways to respond to day-to-day challenges.

Past work has involved helping people manage the emotional fallout of trauma and family problems. She also supports people coping with substance issues, domestic violence histories, and mood dysregulation concerns. Hannah aims to help people find steadier footing after painful events.

Her style emphasizes listening, reflection, and relational awareness. She often helps people identify patterns in relationships and communication, then try small changes to test what feels different. That may include setting boundaries, practicing new ways to speak up, or looking at how early family experiences influence current reactions.

Hannah invites a direct, human conversation about hard feelings like guilt or shame and practical next steps. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online therapy options.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Hannah works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes in thinking and behavior. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses in daily life, which can ease repeated cycles of guilt or shame. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and communication so people can practice speaking and setting boundaries in real situations.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Hannah will listen to what matters most, discuss possible methods, and try techniques that fit a person's goals and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time based on how things are going and what the client wants to work on.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering sessions at the moment. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a session that does not require being on camera. Those practical benefits can help fit work on guilt and shame into an everyday routine without adding extra trips or long commutes.
