About Hannah

Hannah Gibson is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with ten years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also helps those coping with addiction, grief, mood concerns, and challenges around attention and energy.

Hannah draws on several approaches rather than one fixed method. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape how people relate now. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck.

Her style is collaborative. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as understanding emotional patterns. She talks with clients about setting boundaries, managing people-pleasing, handling caregiver stress, and coping with codependency patterns when those come up.

Hannah is currently in doctoral coursework in psychology, which she says has expanded her clinical skills. She has worked across a range of presenting problems since completing a graduate degree at Indiana University in 2012. That decade of practice includes supporting people through trauma, mood disorders, panic, and issues tied to family of origin.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation about goals, practical strategies, and checking progress over time. To start, she asks prospective clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk about what would help most.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Hannah uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach focuses on connection and how emotional responses get replayed in close relationships, which can be useful for people dealing with codependency or repeated boundary problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to break larger problems into workable pieces. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts, test them in daily life, and develop practical skills for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck or uncertain about change; it supports clearer decisions and small steps forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and situation. That collaborative process includes checking how tools are working and adjusting plans as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and give room for exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, CBT, and motivational strategies to fit remote sessions while focusing on practical steps and clearer communication.
