Hannah McManis, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Hannah

Hannah McManis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and parenting concerns. Hannah also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and career or life transition struggles.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judgment and treats people with respect. Hannah uses plain language and practical steps so conversations stay clear and focused on what matters to each person.

Background and approach

Hannah draws from several approaches to structure sessions. She uses client-centered work to follow each person's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build skills for emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices also show up when a client wants help with change or staying present.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and aimed at concrete, manageable goals. Hannah helps people notice small shifts that add up over time and teaches tools they can use between meetings. She aims to create a collaborative plan that fits a person's pace and values.

For someone feeling overwhelmed by parenting demands, relationship strain, or life transitions, Hannah offers straightforward support and skill-building. Her approach emphasizes listening first, then working together on steps that lead to clearer thinking and better daily coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most practical for everyday life, then try techniques that fit. That way the plan can change if something isn’t working and focus more on what helps.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around busy family schedules and allow follow-up or quick check-ins between meetings. Many people find online options reduce travel time and make it simpler to stay consistent with care.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
