I offer therapy sessions in office, online, and by phone, creating flexible options for support.
My ideal client is someone who is seeking the opportunity to be heard and validated without judgment. Their issues can range from feeling alone to being undervalued. They most often feel unseen by the people they love and go to lengths for their reciprocation. Their own needs, goals, and achievements seem impossible but crucial to fulfill despite their busy life’s journey. They know the world is full of changes. They desire to become assertive and wholly honor themselves. Together, we can explore YOUR journey and YOUR feelings and act accordingly as you move in the direction you want and need.

Clients often tell me they feel like something is missing or they know what the problem is but can't resolve it on their own. Most are beginning to recognize unhealthy patterns and can't quite understand the origin or how to change. They are distracting themselves from the real issues with self sabotaging behaviors such as overeating, overworking or excessive alcohol intake. Sometimes they just need help adjusting to life changes such as divorce, illness/health changes, partnering, retirement or becoming a parent. I treat a variety of issues/mental health diagnoses including weight management, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating and bariatric surgery.

About: It is hard to remain mentally steady when hit with uncertainty, loss, disappointment, or emotional pain. Some of us need to release the heavy weight of past trauma, doubt, guilt, or shame, threatening to sink us. For others, inner stability requires the input of new skills, helpful ways of thinking, or healthy boundaries. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a special interest in women, teens, and parents. My areas of focus are anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting.

Every person, couple, and family has a story, and sometimes the patterns that once helped you survive begin to hold you back. You might be facing new challenges no one prepared you for, changes in relationships, identity, or family that leave you feeling uncertain or stuck. You may be managing anxiety, depression, or stress and wondering why old patterns keep repeating. Together, we can uncover what’s holding you back, strengthen your relationships, and build practical strategies for greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Hi! I'm Hannah Glenn, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and licensed clinical addictions specialist.

I also work with individuals diagnosed (or not yet diagnosed) with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and dissociative disorders. My approach to therapy focuses on developing a genuine and meaningful connection with my clients. During any given session, you are likely to laugh a lot and grow a lot - two therapeutic qualities I believe depend on one another.

I'm available both in person and virtually for NC Residents.
On the outside, it might look like you’ve got it all together. But inside, it’s a different story. Maybe there’s a quiet heaviness of grief, confusion, anxiety & exhaustion that lingers no matter what you do. You might feel like you’re constantly holding it in, showing up for everyone else while silently wondering when, or if, it’ll ever be your turn to breathe and feel held. The truth is, trauma doesn’t just live in your thoughts, it settles in your body, showing up in ways that are hard to name but even harder to carry alone. Somewhere along the way, we were taught that this way of living was normal. But that’s a false reality.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
