About Hannah

Hannah Gibson is a licensed professional clinical counselor who uses a collaborative, person-focused approach to therapy. She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address what matters most to each person. Hannah aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure about therapy.

She has been working in the field since earning a graduate degree from Indiana University in 2012 and holds the LPCC credential.

Background and approach

Hannah is currently enrolled in a doctoral program in psychology, which adds fresh training and perspectives to her practice. Her experience spans a wide range of concerns commonly seen in adults. Hannah often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties coping with life changes.

She also works with mood-related concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and substance use challenges. Additional areas she addresses include relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Her style is practical and warm.

Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills, and understanding patterns that keep problems going. Hannah emphasizes building a trusting relationship and tailoring approaches to each person rather than following a single method. Therapy with Hannah can include short-term skill work or longer conversations about deeper patterns.

She provides services from Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. Her LPCC number is KY LPCC 242804.

How Hannah’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work uses conversations to notice those patterns and repair connection issues that affect relationships and caregiving concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and change unhelpful behaviors through short exercises and homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and communication styles while allowing consistent, ongoing work from Kentucky with a licensed professional.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
