Hannia Burke-Aguero

Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Hannia uses a collaborative style. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often look at how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect day-to-day life. She draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical steps forward.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, mood disorders, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and the strain of parenting or caregiving. Life purpose and midlife transitions are named areas she helps clients explore.

Clients can expect conversations that move from problem spotting to concrete actions. Techniques she uses include approaches that focus on thoughts and behaviors, exposure work for panic and trauma, and motivational strategies to increase commitment to change. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help manage arousal and focus.

Hannia’s bicultural and bilingual perspective informs how she works with multicultural concerns and identity shifts. Outside work she spends time with family and grandchildren, and enjoys cooking, gardening, travel, and home projects.

Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Hannia uses a mix of approaches that focus on thoughts, behavior, and present-moment experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and builds practical skills to change behavior and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Prolonged exposure techniques address panic and post-traumatic stress by gradually facing feared memories or situations in a monitored way to reduce avoidance and reactivity. Mindfulness practices train attention to reduce overwhelm and improve emotion regulation in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hannia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, current challenges, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to follow through with homework between meetings. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on conversation, behavioral experiments, and home-based practice rather than specialized equipment. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and tools to individual routines to make therapy usable alongside daily responsibilities.
