Dr. Hannah Armbrust, LMHC, LPC

Dr. Hannah Armbrust is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She practices in Indiana and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and effects of trauma. Hannah aims to offer steady, compassionate care as people sort through painful feelings and confusing life changes.

Her work focuses on helping people notice the emotional patterns that shape their choices. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems and tracing roots in past experiences. She supports people in building self-compassion, improving communication, and finding clearer direction during hard transitions.

Hannah draws on several therapeutic traditions to match strategies to each person. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the individual. She also brings psychodynamic and reflective perspectives to help uncover recurring themes that show up in relationships and mood.

Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, codependency, dissociation, and the long-term effects of family of origin problems. She also addresses life-stage challenges such as aging and grief, and identity questions like gender dysphoria.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and international clients can be seen. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Hannah frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at greater clarity, emotional balance, and more workable daily routines.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decide on next steps. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring emotional patterns and relationship themes that repeat over time; it can help people understand why they react a certain way and shift those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused method that meets people where they are and helps them build motivation for change in small, practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or goals shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people appreciate the flexibility online work can provide when balancing appointments with daily routines.
