About Hannah
Hannah Padilla is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Hannah also supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and depression.
She uses a cognitive behavioral framework to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Hannah favors client-centered work, which means she listens and adjusts sessions around what a person brings. She also draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused methods when they fit the person's needs.
Hannah has worked with adolescents and adults on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and daily life management. Much of her experience is with trauma, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and neglect. She also helps people who have not experienced trauma but who struggle with boundaries, anger, low self-worth, depression, or anxiety.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills: identifying automatic thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing alternatives. She encourages clients to set clear goals up front so progress can be checked and adjusted. Sessions include direct conversation, skill practice, and short exercises aimed at real-world situations.
Hannah works in English and bases her approach on respect and positive regard. People who prefer structured, skills-based work that also includes listening and support may find her style matches their needs.
How Hannah uses structured approaches in online work
Hannah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify automatic thoughts and try new responses. CBT focuses on concrete steps - noticing a thought, testing whether it helps, and practicing an alternative - which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions person-focused and responsive. That means conversations begin with what the client brings and proceed at a practical pace based on the client's goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and help with emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah collaborates with each person to choose which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt methods over time and check in about what is or is not helpful.
