About Hannah

Hannah Padilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a client-centered and cognitive behavioral approach. She focuses on practical skills that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Hannah speaks plainly in sessions and aims to create a respectful, direct space where parents and adults can work toward clearer goals.

She brings four years of clinical experience and practices from Texas. Her main style blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools.

Background and approach

That means she listens first, then helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change how they feel and act. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and trauma-focused ideas when trauma is part of the story. Hannah has worked with people who have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and neglect.

She also supports individuals dealing with self-esteem, anger, boundary setting, family problems, and parenting stress. Her background includes training in forensic psychology and practical experience helping people improve emotion regulation and day-to-day coping. In sessions she is warm but willing to challenge clients to reach their goals.

Therapy focuses on setting clear, achievable steps and building skills that fit daily life. Parents and adults often work on communication, problem solving, and managing strong emotions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy is a way of working that starts with listening and respect. The therapist prioritizes the client's point of view and helps people find their own solutions, which suits family and parenting stress where understanding matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change feelings and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting patterns that cause stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful during heated family moments.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one fixed path up front.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy parents and adults. Video calls let people meet face to face from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more flexible check-ins during hectic days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family schedules and other responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
