Sabrina Hanson, LPC, LPCC

Sabrina Hanson, who often goes by Veronica, approaches counseling as a pathway to self-discovery, renewed freedom, and meaningful personal growth. She frames the decision to begin therapy as a hopeful step and sees her role as helping clients clear away the burdens they have carried so they can move toward wholeness and greater passion for life. Hanson emphasizes a strong therapeutic alliance and works to empower people with practical tools that support ongoing self-exploration beyond the therapy room.

Trained in both clinical and addiction-focused care, she brings a range of professional preparation to her practice. Hanson holds a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Florida State University (2002) and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Franciscan University of Steubenville (2016). She is licensed as a professional counselor in Texas and Ohio. In plain language, her credentials include LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor and LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Hanson has completed additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), the Instinctual Trauma Response Model, Internal Family Systems Therapy, nutrition and mental health, telehealth, and addiction counseling.

While she uses an eclectic approach, Hanson primarily practices Internal Family Systems Therapy to help clients access their core self, observe emotions and thoughts with curiosity, and build skills that support lasting change. With three years of clinical experience, she invites collaborative feedback so treatment can be tailored to each person’s needs, and she aims to guide clients toward not just healing but thriving.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sabrina Hanson

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is Sabrina Hanson’s primary treatment approach. IFS helps people identify different internal parts and access a grounded core self so they can relate to thoughts and feelings with more compassion and clarity; it is often used for trauma, anxiety, relationships, and identity-related struggles. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is another technique Hanson has trained in; EMDR supports processing distressing memories and reducing the emotional intensity associated with traumatic events. Hanson also brings focused training in addiction counseling, which combines behavioral strategies and relapse prevention skills to help people manage cravings, triggers, and life changes related to substance use.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hanson collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. Feedback and joint planning guide which techniques are emphasized over time. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in their care and supports more relevant, sustainable progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, accessible support tailored to each person's circumstances.
