About Hannah

Dr. Hannah Anokye is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage relationship concerns, grief, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. She brings 12 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.

Her style is collaborative and warm. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks for places those stories can be reshaped.

Background and approach

She uses Narrative Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. Hannah works with people on issues like guilt and shame, forgiveness, control struggles, jealousy, and isolation. She also supports those dealing with financial stress, phobias, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and domestic violence recovery.

Conversations about spiritual beliefs, including Christian faith, are welcome when they matter to a person’s healing. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes. Hannah helps identify practical tools for communication problems, money worries, and parenting stress.

She aims to leave people with concrete steps they can try between meetings. Based in Illinois, Hannah brings a person-centered approach that values each client’s background and story. Her goal is to help people build more clarity, resilience, and peace as they navigate life’s transitions.

Online session options

How narrative and values-based approaches work online

Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from the problem and find new meanings that reduce blame and shame. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to notice painful thoughts without letting them control choices and to act in line with what matters most.

These approaches are explored together with a client-centered stance. The therapist collaborates with the client to test what fits - trying different ways of talking about issues, practicing small behavioral steps, and adjusting the plan as goals or needs change. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work and happens over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people keep therapy consistent through moves or changes in routine. A therapist can help tailor session length and focus so therapy works with everyday responsibilities rather than against them.
