Dr. Hannah Anokye

Dr. Hannah Anokye is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Hannah also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people facing financial stress and multicultural concerns.

Her sessions are collaborative and person-centered. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to a client right now. Topics often include guilt and shame, control issues, jealousy, and family problems. She also supports people recovering from domestic violence and those managing panic attacks or phobias.

Hannah draws on several practical approaches in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy appear regularly in her work. She blends these with Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe problems and practice new behaviors.

Clients can expect direct reflection and practical tools rather than abstract theory. Sessions often involve looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, clarifying values, and trying small behavioral shifts between meetings. Conversations can also focus on storytelling and meaning when people are questioning life purpose.

She works in English and is based in Illinois. For people considering this style of work, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with life purpose questions, indecision, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress. It is commonly used for panic, phobias, and low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s priorities and pacing, offering reflective listening and support while the client decides what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT’s values work with CBT exercises or using narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.

The original biography does not specify exact online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments for remote meetings to keep the work practical and focused.
