Hanna Recktenwald, LCSW

Hanna Recktenwald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate difficult moments with practical support and encouragement. She creates a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where individuals can explore anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns, among other issues.

Hanna emphasizes empowerment and collaborative problem-solving, working with clients to identify strategies that fit their lives and goals. Her approach centers on listening carefully and offering steady guidance so people feel understood and better able to move forward.

Available to speak with prospective clients, Hanna aims to build a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps people address immediate difficulties and develop lasting skills for resilience. She looks forward to connecting and beginning that work together.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Hanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and trauma-informed care. One common emphasis is skills-based coping and emotion regulation, which helps people learn concrete strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and anger and apply them in daily life. Another focus is trauma-informed approaches, which attend to the ways past hurt and abuse can affect relationships, self-esteem, and responses to stress while moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive. A third area of emphasis is relational and communication-focused work, helping clients improve connection and problem-solving in their closest relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Hanna approaches that work collaboratively. She partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than expecting one method to suit everyone.

Online therapy with Hanna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
