Zara Hanson

Therapist

Virtual • Montana


I’m Zara Hanson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people reconnect with themselves, heal from the inside out, and show up more fully in their relationships.

My interest in mental health started early, rooted in a curiosity about human behavior and a desire to help others feel less alone in their struggles. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Research Psychology, followed by a Master’s in Clinical Social Work with a focus on both direct therapy and systems-level care. Over the years, I’ve worked across a range of settings—from community mental health to private practice—supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating complex emotional terrain.

My practice focuses on trauma, neurodivergence (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder), substance use, mood disorders, relationship conflict, and emotional dysregulation. I’m especially drawn to working with clients who want to make sense of their story, process unresolved experiences, and find a more grounded, authentic way of being. I also work with couples to deepen connection, repair trust, and build more effective communication.

Therapy with me is relational, honest, and insight-driven. I aim to meet you exactly where you are, while gently encouraging growth, curiosity, and self-compassion along the way.

Life can look manageable from the outside while anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties, or major changes leave you feeling stuck underneath. I work with adults and older adolescents ages 16 and above, including people who tend to keep their emotions inside and handle problems on their own.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and in psychology. My style is straightforward, thoughtful, and empathetic. I offer a space where you can speak honestly, better understand the patterns affecting you, and take practical steps toward meaningful change.
