My experience working with elementary-aged children in schools and hospital settings, as well as training in CBT and EMDR, will help us navigate the roadblocks ahead.
Are you the caregiver of a child who is struggling with anxiety? Near constant worries about school, sports, friendships, family changes, or all of the above? Or maybe your child was recently diagnosed with OCD or ADHD, and you are feeling lost in how to help them manage their symptoms? Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a mental health counselor in Ohio specializing in therapy for children ages 8 to 12, and their caregivers. My favorite part of working with kids is getting to see the way they navigate the world and come up with their own creative solutions to problems they face. My job is to help my clients, and their adults find solutions.

My typical treatment styles include individual therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), CBT, and play therapy.
I have wanted to work as a therapist with children since I was 13 years old. Even after working as a licensed therapist for over 7 years, this passion has remained. I've worked with many children dealing with issues related to anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulties at home, school, and with peers. My hope is that if I can help a child work through these issues while they're still young, they can take these tools with them and maybe life won't have to be so hard as they get older.

When working with children, I draw on play therapy techniques (using children’s language of play to increase their awareness of their own competencies); CBT (relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors to help with emotion regulation and decision making); and PCIT techniques (helping parents navigate interactions with their children).
My approach to therapy is guided by the principles of the social work profession including empathy, unconditional positive regard (all people have strengths and inherent worth), self-efficacy (people can make their own decisions), and self-determination (people have what it takes to do what’s best for them). I draw on CBT (the relationship between thoughts and feelings and how changes in thoughts impact mood); Motivational Interviewing (strengthening motivation to make the changes you want to make); and person-centered therapies (uncovering and highlighting your strengths and using your strengths to help navigate life’s lemons).

I am trained in EMDR, IFS, CBT, and by the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP) as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
18 years of counseling experience has taught me that we must examine what is happening beneath your symptoms. Your body holds on to painful memories and the engine inside revs continually until it finally cannot withstand any longer. It emits uncomfortable body sensations and emotions until the pain becomes enough to get your full attention. I'll help you "turn off the engine" of trauma so you can engage a system of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that help you feel more like yourself again.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
