More about Hannah

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am Hannah Bernard, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I strive to support my clients through life's difficult times by fostering new insights, teaching practical skills, and seeking emotional resources to empower them to make decisions they can be proud of and live in a way that truly reflects who they are. I utilize a flexible approach to understand and respond to the unique needs of each individual.

I have discovered that my style and approach work well with adults of all ages. I provide support to clients facing life transitions, medical challenges, grief, a diminished sense of self, and family or relationship issues. Understanding that these experiences often overlap, I also help clients manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

In therapy, I demonstrate empathy, maintain a non-judgmental attitude, and project an authentic demeanor. I understand that a fundamental aspect of the therapeutic process is establishing a safe space and nurturing a supportive relationship to facilitate personal growth.

Collaboration is at the core of my practice, as I believe that the therapeutic relationship and a client's active involvement in their own healing process are essential components of successful therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, promoting positive change and growth on your personal journey toward well-being and fulfillment.

I became a therapist driven by a core belief in the strengths and inherent goodness within everyone. My passion is to help people discover and embrace these qualities in themselves. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing individuals feel empowered and confident as they recognize their own potential and worth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
