About Hannah
Hannah Padilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, and depression. Hannah also lists codependency, attachment issues, body image, and related concerns among her focus areas.
Hannah uses a person-centered way of working combined with cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress, then trying practical strategies to change them. She often helps people learn emotion regulation skills, reduce distress, and rebuild routines that feel manageable.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas A&M International University and a Master of Forensic Psychology from the University of Houston. Over the past four years she has worked with adults and adolescents facing trauma, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and neglect, alongside non-trauma issues like low self-esteem and relationship conflict.
In session Hannah typically blends CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas. She encourages direct discussion of goals and uses short-term tools alongside slower work on core beliefs. Expect an approach that challenges unhelpful thoughts and supports learning new ways to respond to stress and relationship dynamics.
People often come for help with setting boundaries, managing anxiety, coping after loss, and addressing patterns that leave them feeling drained by others. Hannah speaks English and practices in Texas.
How sessions work
How Hannah Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Work Online
Hannah often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep people stuck in self-critical thinking.She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help clients notice physical sensations and thought patterns without immediately reacting. These practices can help decrease reactivity to stress and support calmer decision making in relationships.
Client-centered work means sessions begin with the client’s priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps set clear goals. Together they choose which methods to try based on the client’s needs and preferences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Hannah will collaborate with each person to test what feels useful and adjust over time based on progress and feedback.
