About Hannah
Dr. Hannah Anokye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 12 years of practice. She works with people who are handling relationship concerns, grief, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.
She helps clients sort through communication problems, control issues, and family conflict. She also addresses guilt and shame, jealousy, and isolation. Money and financial stress are part of her caseload as well.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and listening first. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. She invites conversations that include clients' values, including Christian beliefs when that is important to the person.
Therapeutic methods Hannah uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. These shape how she helps people set goals and change unhelpful patterns.
In sessions she works on specific problems like panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and recovery after domestic violence. She also supports people trying to find life purpose, practice self-love, or repair relationship patterns.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation about next steps, practical skills to try between meetings, and a focus on everyday pressures such as work, money, and family. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Illinois.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead to explore concerns and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as issues evolve and as people try different strategies.
Session format options are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, shorten travel time, and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Therapists use these formats to focus on skills practice, talk through relationship or parenting questions, and follow up on tasks between meetings.
