About Hana
Hana Gilliom is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and sleep problems. She uses a strengths-based outlook and treats every person with respect and compassion. Hana also supports people managing anger, self-esteem challenges, LGBTQ-related concerns, family stress, and major life changes.
In sessions she keeps conversation focused and practical. She listens first, then helps people identify small steps that fit into daily life. Her style draws on client-centered listening alongside goal-focused tools so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Hana blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She brings mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation skills are needed.
Her background is grounded in social work practice across clinical settings over a decade. That experience shaped a calm, nonjudgmental way of working and an emphasis on building practical life skills. Hana welcomes people who want clear, doable strategies for everyday problems.
People who choose to work with Hana can expect a straightforward process: talk through the current concerns, set short-term goals, and practice skills between sessions. For anyone worrying about sleep or coping after a big change, she aims to make the next step feel manageable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Hana uses client-centered therapy to start conversations that feel respectful and focused on what matters most to each person. That approach is about listening, reflecting, and helping people set goals they want to reach.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood because it breaks down patterns into manageable steps.
Finding the right style is part of the work together. Hana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as goals evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue care when life is hectic. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know whether phone, video, or another format is offered. Many people appreciate that remote sessions reduce travel time and let them check in during a break, while still focusing on skill practice and sleep routines.
