About Hannia
Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday challenges that follow major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on her bicultural background to support diverse clients.
Hannia uses a collaborative style that starts with listening. She helps identify patterns that keep problems going and works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with straightforward strategies to try between meetings.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including panic disorder and panic attacks, grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and adjustment after major life events. She also addresses money worries, isolation, and questions about life purpose and identity during transitions.
Over the years she has combined evidence-based techniques with action-oriented methods to meet different needs. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to anxiety, rehearsing difficult conversations, or exploring cultural and family influences on current struggles.
Outside of work she enjoys family time, especially with her grandchildren, and hobbies like cooking, gardening, exercise, and home projects. Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach in sessions, with an emphasis on small, workable changes that fit real life.
Approaches that guide online work
Hannia blends a few evidence-based techniques into practical sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding skills that can help calm the body during panic or overwhelming stress.She also uses action-oriented methods that encourage doing as well as talking, such as role practice for difficult conversations or step-by-step tasks to face avoided situations. These techniques are aimed at helping people build confidence and small wins between appointments.
Choosing the right approach usually happens together. Hannia will talk with each person about goals, test methods, and adjust plans based on what works. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques to a client’s daily life and preferences.

They also let people access a bilingual therapist from other locations, which can help maintain continuity of care when travel or relocation comes up.
