About Hannia

Hannia Burke-Aguero, LPC, brings three decades of practice to her work helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on long experience to help clients name what feels overwhelming and find ways forward. Her style is collaborative and calm, and she focuses on practical steps as well as emotional healing.

Hannia adapts evidence-based techniques to each person’s needs. She uses structured approaches when helpful and also invites personal reflection and action. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small changes that stack up, and learning new ways to cope with mood and relationship challenges.

As a bilingual and bicultural clinician, she pays attention to how culture and identity shape feelings and decisions. She also works with people dealing with caregiver stress, attachment issues, and the strain that money and financial issues can bring to daily life. Her experience includes trauma, panic, and long-term mood concerns.

Hannia blends practical tools with supportive conversation. That may include skills for managing panic, ways to rebuild connection in strained relationships, and steps to handle grief or loss. She encourages clients to try new behaviors between sessions to test what helps.

Outside of therapy she values family time and simple projects at home, like cooking, gardening, and remodeling. Those interests inform a down-to-earth approach in sessions that aims to be relatable and realistic.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Hannia uses several evidence-based techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments. Prolonged Exposure is a trauma-focused method that involves gradual, supported work with distressing memories to reduce their power over daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannia will work together with each person to match techniques to goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the plan can change as progress unfolds.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking to know whether live video, phone, or other formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible. Online work can also let the therapist coach practical steps in real time and support follow-through between appointments.
