Hannah McManis

Hannah McManis is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and related struggles. Hannah uses a warm, interactive style that aims to make people feel heard and respected.

Hannah believes most people already have strengths they can build on. Her role is to guide clients in using those strengths more effectively. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior and mindfulness therapies. That means she balances listening and empathy with concrete tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Hannah tailors plans to each person rather than using one fixed method.

She also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar mood patterns, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Hannah aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them and experiment with change.

For people worried about reaching out, Hannah notes that seeking help is a courageous first step. She encourages practical progress and small, achievable goals so clients can notice real differences over time.

How trauma-informed and skills-based care works online

Hannah practices a mix of Trauma-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past hurt, often by working at a pace the person can manage. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building on a person's own strengths to guide change. CBT targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and provides practical techniques for coping with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to combine understanding with tools that fit daily life and personal preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments, reduce travel time, and fit short check-ins into a busy day. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring examples from home or work into sessions. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so the therapist can suggest options that match your needs.
