More about Hannah
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
I am Hannah Bernard, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I strive to support my clients through life's difficult times by fostering new insights, teaching practical skills, and seeking emotional resources to empower them to make decisions they can be proud of and live in a way that truly reflects who they are. I utilize a flexible approach to understand and respond to the unique needs of each individual.
I have discovered that my style and approach work well with adults of all ages. I provide support to clients facing life transitions, medical challenges, grief, a diminished sense of self, and family or relationship issues. Understanding that these experiences often overlap, I also help clients manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
In therapy, I demonstrate empathy, maintain a non-judgmental attitude, and project an authentic demeanor. I understand that a fundamental aspect of the therapeutic process is establishing a safe space and nurturing a supportive relationship to facilitate personal growth.
Collaboration is at the core of my practice, as I believe that the therapeutic relationship and a client's active involvement in their own healing process are essential components of successful therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, promoting positive change and growth on your personal journey toward well-being and fulfillment.
I became a therapist driven by a core belief in the strengths and inherent goodness within everyone. My passion is to help people discover and embrace these qualities in themselves. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing individuals feel empowered and confident as they recognize their own potential and worth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
