About Hana
Hana Gilliom is an LCSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the challenges that come with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, and LGBT-related concerns. Hana writes in a direct, respectful way and aims to create a space where people feel heard.
Hana brings 10 years of professional experience to her work and uses a strengths-based outlook. That means she helps people notice what already works for them, then builds on those skills to handle current struggles. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and manageable practices rather than abstract theory.
Her approach mixes several straightforward methods. She uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to find and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Hana also uses mindfulness techniques to help people become steadier in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons for change. These tools are applied in practical, task-oriented ways so people leave sessions with something to try.
She practices in Indiana and offers services in English. People who live outside the United States may also work with her, so international clients are accepted. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities, so online sessions often start by identifying what matters most and setting simple goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks challenges into thoughts, feelings, and actions; online work typically uses short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be taught step by step and practiced in daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change and progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. It also supports practicing real-life skills between meetings, which is a common and useful part of CBT and DBT based work.
