I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Hannah Thompson

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Hannah! Born and raised in North Carolina and proud graduate of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2022 and in VA undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2018.

For the past six years, I’ve worked in community mental health and have spent nearly two years in private practice. I’ve supported teens and adults through crisis, addiction, suicide prevention, trauma, and life transitions and I genuinely care about helping people feel steady, understood, and empowered again.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies like CBT, trauma-focused work, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and somatic interventions. That means we don’t just talk about what’s hard we build practical tools, process what’s been weighing on you, and create real movement forward.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in compassion. I would truly be honored to walk alongside you in this season.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Raleigh, NC

Searching for OCD therapists in Raleigh starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and distress tied to specific fears or routines. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people living with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that specifically mention ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, anxiety, or related concerns.

Raleigh has a strong mental health care community, but the right fit still depends on practical details. Some people prefer an in-person office near downtown, North Hills, or other parts of the Triangle, while others choose virtual appointments for more schedule flexibility. When reviewing OCD therapists, look closely at whether they list ERP training, how they describe their work with OCD, and whether they offer appointment times that fit your calendar. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP experience, so reading profiles before booking can help you make a more informed choice.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare bios, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
