About Ursula
Ursula Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 18 years of experience. She has worked across community mental health agencies, private practice, non-profits and schools. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, career concerns and compassion fatigue.
She has spent much of her career supporting adults and working alongside educators. That has included consulting with teachers and offering yoga and mindfulness classes in elementary schools. These roles inform how she structures sessions and practical tools she brings into therapy.
Ursula uses a client-centered approach, which means conversations are guided by what the person brings to the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to calm the body and steady attention.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills and small experiments that fit into everyday life. That can look like practicing brief mindfulness exercises, experimenting with thought records, or planning steps to address work and relationship stress. She pays attention to strengths and what is already working.
People often come for help after a life change, loss, or a period of prolonged stress. In addition to the main concerns listed above, Ursula also addresses body image, forgiveness, and self-love. To begin she asks that prospective clients complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on what matters most to the client and structure time around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into concrete steps. In a remote setting this often looks like collaborative problem solving, homework tasks, and short thought records to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity. These practices can be demonstrated in session and practiced during or after a meeting to help with anxiety and stress.Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide whether client-centered conversations, CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or a combination best fit current needs and goals. That collaborative decision is revisited as circumstances change.
Session logistics vary by clinician and platform, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-in sessions when time is limited, and let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low or camera use is undesirable. These practical benefits help make therapy sustainable alongside work, family, and school commitments.
