About Me
Hi! My name is Hannah Thayer and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 5 years of clinical experience counseling individuals, couples, families, and groups. As a therapist, I find it fulfilling to see clients move towards growth while also becoming more comfortable with themselves and their needs as a person.
My Approach
Collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to you.
Evidence-Based Methods
CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness/somatic strategies to help you understand thought and behavior patterns.
Collaborative Process
We work together so you can eventually become your own therapist, targeting your own needs.
Deep Listening
I listen deeply and ask thoughtful questions to help you explore your thoughts and feelings.
Adaptable Style
Whether you need gentle encouragement or structured guidance, I meet you where you are.
Your First Session
What to expect when we meet.
Getting to know each other
We'll start with introductions and I'll learn a bit about you.
Discussing your concerns
Share what brought you to therapy—your concerns, background, and questions.
Setting goals together
We'll talk about what you want from therapy and create a path forward.
Building trust
We'll cover confidentiality and begin building a safe, supportive relationship.
How I Set Goals
Focused sessions, meaningful progress.
I approach goal setting with clients as an ongoing thing. I prefer to have a goal for each session and like to discuss that goal at the beginning of every meeting to help the session stay focused and productive for the client.
I believe that there is no goal that is too small—and that understanding one's goals can help the client see a bigger picture.
