Hana Gilliom, LCSW

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Hana uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s perspectives and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people clarify values, build confidence, and find solutions that fit their daily lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and problematic habits by testing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and reducing reactive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Hana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt these approaches to fit remote formats, keeping the focus on what helps the client move forward.

Online therapy with Hana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the communication style that best supports progress.
