About Hannah
Dr. Hannah Anokye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people through hard moments. She supports individuals facing relationship strain, grief, parenting questions, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.
Her work often focuses on practical steps someone can use day to day. Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She helps people clarify values, name what matters, and set small, manageable goals.
Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on building tools that fit real life rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
Dr. Anokye uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to build focus on values, and narrative methods to reframe difficult stories.
Motivational interviewing also appears in her work when people are weighing change. She often supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, control issues, and family conflicts. She also works with those facing panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and the anxiety that comes with financial strain or life purpose questions.
Clients who want to include spiritual or Christian values in therapy can bring those beliefs into sessions. Dr. Anokye practices in Illinois and provides care in English.
To begin, she asks people to share their goals so therapy can be tailored to what matters to them.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can help when someone feels stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for panic symptoms, phobias, and worry by practicing new ways of thinking and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. You and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making scheduling easier around work or school, and allowing shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Some formats need less bandwidth or offer a simpler way to stay connected if being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals tailor sessions so practical arrangements support the therapeutic goals.
