About Hannah
Dr. Hannah Armbrust is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 13 years working in clinical settings. She holds LMHC and LPC credentials and practices in Indiana while serving people in English and Portuguese.
She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is calm and direct. She creates space for people to talk about what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and to find practical steps forward. Hannah draws on a mix of client-centered work and deeper psychological approaches to help people find meaning and self-understanding. She pays attention to attachment patterns, family of origin issues, and how early experiences shape emotional responses.
This can help when someone is struggling with codependency, commitment concerns, or communication problems. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, dissociation, and themes like forgiveness or emptiness. For clients facing more specific challenges there is room to explore identity issues, including gender dysphoria, or mood-related concerns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.
Sessions combine reflective listening with goal-focused conversation so people notice small changes that matter. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled based on availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and respected and is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Existential therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices; it can help when someone feels empty or faces big transitions. Psychodynamic therapy examines patterns that come from early relationships and repeated life themes; this approach is helpful for attachment issues, family of origin problems, and lingering emotional patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client’s goals and needs. Together they will try approaches and shift course if something is not working, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
