Hannia Burke-Aguero

Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of clinical experience based in Missouri. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She speaks both English and Spanish and brings lived cultural knowledge into sessions.

Hannia takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She works with each person to spot patterns that keep them stuck and to build practical steps toward feeling better. Sessions focus on manageable goals and clear strategies rather than long lists of theory.

Her practice addresses mood concerns, panic and phobias, relationship and communication difficulties, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing identity transitions, multicultural challenges, and the loneliness that can come with big life changes. Hannia names isolation and loneliness among the issues she helps people address.

She uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the needs of each person. People can expect straightforward conversation, exercises to practice between sessions, and homework when it helps reach goals. Language and cultural context are respected in how she shapes treatment.

Outside work she enjoys time with family and grandchildren, cooking, gardening, exercise, and travel. That personal side informs an approachable style in sessions, where practical life skills meet emotional work.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Hannia uses evidence-based techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can ease stress and help manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adapt methods so sessions match the person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and let people meet from different locations, including international clients since she accepts them. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking. Clients often find online appointments help maintain regular contact, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to balance work, caregiving, or other daily tasks while getting help.
