About Hannah
Dr. Hannah Anokye is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship concerns, grief, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also supports those looking to clarify life purpose.
She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and forgiveness. She works with clients dealing with control issues, communication problems, jealousy, and family conflict. Financial stress, multicultural concerns, phobias, panic, and post-traumatic stress are also within her focus.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. Sessions involve listening, asking questions, and picking practical steps that fit daily life. She invites discussion of spiritual or Christian values when that matters to a client.
Clinically, she uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and try different ways of responding to stress and relationships.
People come to her when they feel stuck after a job change, breakup, loss, or health event. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, workable strategies, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. The aim is to find practical next steps that fit each person's life.
Dr. Anokye practices in Illinois and conducts work in English. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that matter. It can help with life purpose questions and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace, useful when processing grief or relationship issues.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Dr. Anokye will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to use. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Others prefer arrangements that reduce screen time or use a quick phone check-in for brief updates. Discussing practical scheduling needs is part of the first meeting so sessions can fit everyday life.
