Background and approach

That background includes helping people with behavioral challenges and emotional reactions across different life stages. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and client-centered conversation. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and practice new ways of responding to stress.

Her style is calm and empathic, and she can be direct when a clearer push will help someone move forward. Hanson is experienced with a wide range of concerns from panic and agoraphobia to addiction, bipolar mood issues, and caregiving stress. She also supports people coping with medical illness, chronic pain, and major life transitions.

Her work includes attention to relationship, intimacy, parenting, and communication challenges. Clients meet with Hanson for phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging sessions. She works from Idaho and provides services in English.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and committing to actions that match those values. It combines mindfulness skills with practical steps to help people move forward despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can suit worries, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors in small, manageable ways; this often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused and attachment-aware work centers on how emotions and early bonds shape current relationships. That approach helps people understand patterns in intimacy, communication, and connection, and try different responses in real life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. A licensed professional will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and routines. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging offer flexible, written ways to reflect between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
