Hannah Lerner
(she/her)
I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University with a clinical concentration, specializing in health and mental health, and I’m licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Mexico, Washington, and New Jersey. My passion is working with people to navigate life’s challenges and transitions, whether that’s changes at work, moving, or shifts in relationships. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we focus on your goals and strengths, building coping skills and strategies that help you feel more grounded, empowered, and able to create meaningful change in your life.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the introductory session, we'll start by addressing housekeeping matters, ensuring a smooth and comfortable therapeutic experience. We'll then delve into your expectations and motivations for seeking therapy, exploring what you are looking for in a therapist and the factors that brought you to therapy. Finally, we'll discuss the next steps in your therapeutic journey, creating a roadmap for the support and exploration that lies ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths as a therapist include creating a safe and supportive environment with a compassionate and honest approach for individuals and families dealing with mental health challenges. I excel in providing immediate support during crucial moments and employ stress reduction techniques to enhance well-being. Additionally, my ability to build coping mechanisms, facilitate problem-solving, and improve distress tolerance contributes to an effective therapeutic experience tailored to each client's unique needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or facing challenges in relationships, work, or other areas of life. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, build coping skills, and gain clarity around your goals. I also bring a direct, yet compassionate and therapeutic approach in our conversations when it’s helpful, so we can tackle challenges openly while staying focused on meaningful growth and positive change.

My treatment methods
Supportive
I aim to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel relaxed, comfortable, and truly heard. My approach is compassionate and supportive, focused on understanding your experiences and helping you navigate challenges at your own pace. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and positive change in a way that feels safe and meaningful for you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support your goals when they’re a good fit. Skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can be helpful along the way, but they’re just one part of a broader, personalized approach we’ll shape around what works best for you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I sometimes use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice patterns between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining this awareness can open the door to trying out new ways of thinking and responding. These strategies can be helpful when working toward your goals, but they’re just one of many tools we can draw from as we shape an approach that fits you best.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I may draw on elements of Solution-Focused Therapy to help you identify your strengths and the steps that can move you toward your goals. This approach centers on what’s already working and builds on those successes to create meaningful change. It can be a helpful part of our work together, while still being just one piece of a personalized approach that fits your needs.
