About Hana

Hana Gilliom is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-based, client-centered attitude to each interaction, aiming to meet clients where they are and build on existing resources and resilience. Hana integrates several evidence-informed methods into her practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness.

She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals and take practical steps forward. Based in Indiana and licensed as LCSW IN LCSW 34008622A, she welcomes English-speaking and international clients through online formats.

Her approach emphasizes respect, compassion, and collaboration, with attention to the needs of LGBTQ individuals and those navigating family-related concerns. Prospective clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented partnership geared toward practical coping strategies and meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online access



Hana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and stress-related patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that can help during intense emotions and relationship stressors. In addition, client-centered principles guide sessions so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with individual goals and preferences rather than using a fixed plan from the start.

Online therapy with Hana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it possible to continue regular work on skills, problem solving, and coping strategies even when in-person visits are not convenient, supporting continuity and practical progress.
