About Hannia
Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the practical challenges that follow major life changes. Hannia offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She takes a collaborative approach and uses evidence-based techniques to identify patterns that keep people stuck. In sessions she helps people notice obstacles, try new ways of relating, and practice manageable skills. The tone is direct and practical rather than abstract or overly clinical.
Hannia often focuses on attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around divorce or separation. She also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, money worries, midlife reassessment, and questions about life purpose. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and perinatal challenges.
She draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and action-oriented methods to help clients test changes in their daily lives. Sessions commonly include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and conversation about values and next steps.
Outside of work she spends time with family and grandchildren, and enjoys exercise, cooking, gardening, home projects, cultural learning, and travel. That practical, grounded outlook informs how she helps people move forward when life feels uncertain.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Hannia uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors; they help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation by breaking problems into concrete steps. Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and help with stress, panic, and grief when practiced between sessions.Motivational interviewing supports people who feel ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening motivation. Action-oriented methods let clients try new ways of relating or behaving and then review what worked, which is useful for communication problems, caregiver stress, and life-purpose exploration. These approaches are described plainly and applied collaboratively rather than as fixed prescriptions.
Finding the best fit is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess goals, preferences, and day-to-day circumstances and then suggest which techniques to try first. Clients often mix methods as they go, with check-ins about what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer working in English or Spanish, note that both languages are offered and international arrangements are accepted.
