About Hanna
Hanna Recktenwald is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with four years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and problems with self-esteem. Hanna speaks English and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Hanna uses straightforward conversation to map out what feels most urgent. She helps people name patterns that raise stress or prompt angry reactions. Together they look at communication habits, boundaries, and small changes that reduce tension in relationships and at work.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, Hanna moves at the client's pace and focuses on stabilizing current reactions first. She also supports people who want to rebuild self-regard and practice self-love after difficult events. Young adults figuring out independence and identity are another area she addresses.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple tools that can be practiced between meetings. Hanna describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s real-life constraints shape the plan. She aims to help people notice triggers and try new responses that feel manageable.
Practical concerns like communication problems and post-traumatic stress are named up front. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Hanna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses involves skill-building exercises to manage stress and reduce angry reactions; these teach concrete strategies to pause, reassess, and try a different response in heated moments. Another commonly used method targets trauma-related symptoms by prioritizing stabilization and grounding skills before addressing difficult memories; this aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanna will discuss goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan over time based on progress and preferences.
The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping appointments that might otherwise be harder to reach. Online work can make it easier to practice communication tools in real time and to review homework between meetings.
