Hannah Keefer , LCSW

Hannah Keefer is a licensed social worker practicing in Tennessee with over five years of professional experience supporting people through addictions, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. She holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, reflecting advanced training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice.

Trained in social work, Hannah centers her practice on a strengths-based framework grounded in empathy, understanding, and collaboration. She emphasizes the client as the expert on their own life and works to create a supportive setting where individuals can explore their experiences, clarify goals, and build confidence. Her work frequently addresses self-esteem, coping with change, compassion fatigue, communication difficulties, and concerns around guilt, shame, and isolation.

Hannah approaches each case with practical, evidence-informed techniques tailored to the person in front of her. She aims to help clients identify existing resources, develop new coping strategies, and strengthen relationships and self-compassion over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Hannah uses a strengths-based approach that helps clients identify and build on their existing resources and abilities. This method focuses on practical steps to improve confidence, manage life changes, and support recovery from addictions by highlighting what already works for the individual.

She also draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. These research-supported methods are applied flexibly to address issues such as relationship concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with stress, with an emphasis on measurable progress and skill development.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to select and adjust techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, ensuring the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this collaborative work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to meet, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt session formats and pacing so that therapy remains accessible and effective for each individual’s situation.
