About Hermine

Hermine Price-Spain is an AL LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - with 33 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She also lists codependency and caregiving stress among her focus areas.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. That can mean identifying what gets in the way, setting small achievable goals, and trying brief strategies to reduce anxiety or increase motivation. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than long lectures about theory.

Her background includes long experience in counseling and a coaching credential noted in her original biography. That combination shapes a style that moves between listening, reflective feedback, and active goal work. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what the client brings and motivational interviewing to stir readiness for change.

She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people build skills they can use between sessions. These approaches are used to address practical problems like coping with life changes, dealing with family of origin issues, or managing urges around substance use.

If someone is looking for support with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling lost in relationships, she includes codependency among the areas she focuses on. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to schedule an initial meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, helps clarify priorities, and lets the client lead topics while offering reflective feedback. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience through simple techniques. It can help reduce anxiety, steady emotions, and support coping with cravings or stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with the client and therapist checking in about what feels most helpful.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit better around work, caregiving, or travel because they cut commute time and make scheduling easier. Others prefer formats that require less bandwidth, like voice-only check-ins, when they need a shorter or simpler session. Ask about current formats and how they can be scheduled to fit everyday life.
