Hannah Padilla, LPC

Hannah Padilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She uses a warm, person-centered style that balances support with gentle challenge. Hannah aims to help clients build practical skills for everyday life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps help people identify goals and take small actions toward them.

Hannah has four years of experience working with adolescents and adults on issues such as trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and relationship or family concerns. Much of her work has involved people who experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, or neglect. She also helps clients who face attachment, body image, codependency, or loneliness struggles.

Her sessions typically begin by mapping clear goals and practical steps. She offers a respectful, empathetic space while also inviting clients to try new skills and make changes outside sessions. The emphasis is on building tools that reduce disruption to daily life.

Hannah is based in Texas and holds a Master of Forensic Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She provides therapy in English and does not work with international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Hannah Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Hannah commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and treating people with respect, so clients can talk about what matters to them and set goals that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify automatic thoughts that worsen anxiety or low mood and teaches practical steps to change reactions and behaviors. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to notice the present moment, which can reduce stress and help with emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session tasks and homework so they feel useful and realistic for daily life.

If you prefer remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce the need for travel, and let people attend from a quieter space or during a break. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and goal-setting across online formats so progress can continue even when meeting virtually.
