About Hannia
Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. Hannia uses evidence-based techniques and brings bilingual English-Spanish skills to sessions.
Hannia approaches therapy collaboratively. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries different strategies to change those patterns. Sessions can cover practical coping skills for panic and mood symptoms, navigating divorce and separation, or handling caregiver stress.
Her work also addresses attachment concerns, loneliness, and struggles with guilt and shame. She supports clients dealing with multicultural transitions, money worries, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Hannia includes grief work and parenting-related stress when those are part of a person's concerns.
She describes her methods as evidence-based, drawing from approaches such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and therapies used for trauma and prolonged stress. Those methods are used to practice skills, reframe thoughts, and plan small actions between sessions.
Hannia is bilingual and bicultural, and that background informs how she talks about identity and adjustment. Outside work she spends time with family, gardens, cooks, and enjoys traveling and home projects.
People who are carrying guilt or shame often begin by talking about specific events or ongoing patterns. Hannia offers straightforward coaching and therapeutic tools to look at those moments, clarify values, and try different ways of responding going forward.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Hannia uses several evidence-based techniques in her work. Mindfulness practices are taught as short exercises to notice sensations and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, panic, and difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to change feeling and behavior patterns.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and decide on practical next steps. These approaches are explained plainly and practiced together, so the client and therapist pick what fits best. The therapist treats finding the right method as a collaborative process and adjusts techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Talk with Hannia about which arrangements will work best for your schedule and what kind of session length and pacing you prefer.
