Hannia Burke-Aguero, LPC

Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. She speaks English and Spanish and brings both personal and professional experience as a bicultural clinician.

Hannia uses a collaborative style in sessions. She looks for patterns that feed stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship strain. Conversations are practical and goal-focused, with attention to what can be changed day to day.

Her work often centers on mood concerns such as depression and panic, and on major life shifts like separation or caregiving changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment worries, forgiveness, guilt, and feelings of isolation. Multicultural issues and adapting to a new culture are part of her focus.

Hannia draws from several evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to the person in front of her. She aims to combine clear steps with compassionate listening so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Outside of practice, she enjoys family time with her grandchildren, exercising, cooking, gardening, and home projects. She also likes learning about different cultures and traveling, which informs her approach with people from varied backgrounds.

Evidence-based techniques explained for online care

Hannia uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical alternatives to change mood and behavior; this can help with anxiety, panic, and depression. Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm, which many people find useful for stress and grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods over time. Clients help shape the plan so methods fit their life and needs.

Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions from different locations when needed. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available, and discuss with the therapist how to structure appointments to match your routine and goals.
