About Hannah
Hannah McManis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and issues connected to trauma and abuse. Her approach is warm and straightforward and aims to make therapy feel doable for busy parents and overwhelmed individuals.
Hannah uses familiar, everyday language in sessions. She believes people already have strengths and skills and helps them turn those into usable tools.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be interactive, with clear steps and goals rather than long, abstract talks. She draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape plans that fit each person’s life. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices add skills for managing strong emotions and staying present.
Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel stuck. Hannah emphasizes respect, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. She listens closely and helps clients build strategies for specific problems like parenting stress, grief, compassion fatigue, and career pressure.
Therapy is collaborative, with the client and therapist deciding what to focus on. Practical tools are a priority in her work. That can mean step-by-step coping plans, skills for improving self-esteem, or routines to manage mood swings.
Sessions aim to leave people with things they can use between meetings to handle hard moments and move toward the life they want.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person’s strengths. Online sessions give space for that listening and for tailoring conversation to what matters most, helping people set goals and try new behaviors between sessions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into clear steps and skills. In online work CBT often means setting short tasks, tracking moods or behaviors, and reviewing results together on video or by message to adjust the plan.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to communicate. These skills fit well into remote formats where short coaching messages, phone check-ins, or live chat can reinforce practice during real-life moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods to try based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time, and feedback from the client guides each step.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close while saving travel time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a quick break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and on-the-spot coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and sustain progress over time.
