Hannah Flottemesch, LISW

Hannah Flottemesch is an Ohio-licensed social worker (LISW) with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, low self-esteem, and depression. Hannah aims to make starting therapy feel easier and more manageable for someone taking that first step.

She builds sessions around an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person. Hannah listens closely and then helps shape goals that fit everyday life.

Hannah draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and create small behavior changes. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to clarify values and commit to actions that matter. Client-centered principles guide the relationship so the client's perspective leads the work.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She will help clients notice patterns, try short experiments, and track progress between sessions. Many people find this approach useful when anxiety or low mood gets in the way of daily routines.

Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and gentle exploration of feelings. Hannah aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move toward the life they want. If someone is nervous about beginning therapy, she acknowledges that step and works at a comfortable pace.

How Hannah’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Sessions often include between-session experiments and practical skills to change daily routines.

Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions that align with those values. This approach is useful when someone wants to move past avoidance and build a more meaningful routine.

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's lead so goals come from the client's priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest strategies to try together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits how you want to live and what you want to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, real-time coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, and family life.
