About Hannah
Hannah Padilla is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and depression. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress rather than long theory talks.
Hannah uses a client-centered frame while drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. She emphasizes clear, actionable steps - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help when a person wants short-term changes or clearer next steps.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas A&M International University and a Master of Forensic Psychology from the University of Houston. Over four years she has worked with people who experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and neglect, and with those who face anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship problems.
In sessions Hannah often teaches coping skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal boundaries. She combines direct cognitive work with mindfulness practice so people can notice automatic reactions and choose different responses. The focus is on skills that make everyday life more manageable.
People who come for help with family and parenting concerns will find practical guidance aimed at improving communication, setting limits, and handling conflict. Hannah asks about concrete goals at the start and then uses short-term techniques and longer-term work as needed to help clients reach those goals.
How sessions work
How Hannah blends practical approaches for online work
Hannah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations are guided by what the client brings; the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client identify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting automatic thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice body sensations and thoughts without immediately reacting. Mindfulness exercises are brief and can be practiced between sessions to build emotional regulation and reduce rumination.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process may include short solution-focused steps for immediate problems or longer CBT work for lasting change.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy home schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so skill-building continues between meetings.
