About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who centers her work on practical, moment-to-moment strategies. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and ADHD by breaking goals into small, reachable steps. Her style is grounded and collaborative, with an emphasis on learning through the process rather than rushing to a single solution.
Hannah frames therapy as a partnership. She listens with curiosity and offers clear techniques clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on present concerns and on building confidence through achievable actions before tackling larger patterns. She uses creative tools when helpful, including art-based exercises that don't require any artistic skill. Her background includes seven years as a licensed counselor and many more years working in mental health settings.
That experience includes supporting people through grief, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, parenting stresses, and compassion fatigue. She draws on several evidence-informed methods, choosing approaches that match each person's needs and goals. In sessions she blends practical skills with attention to relationships and attachment.
That mix helps with communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, codependency, and forgiveness work. Hannah aims to make therapy feel usable and relevant to daily life. Hannah offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She works with people who want a thoughtful, hands-on approach to coping with change, repairing relationships, and managing attention or emotional regulation challenges.
Online approaches that emphasize skills and relationships
Hannah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT focuses on practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and attention challenges by changing patterns of thought and behavior. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, communication, and trust issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Hannah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She often blends approaches so the work fits changing needs and the pace a person prefers, checking in regularly about what is or isn't helpful.
Online sessions make this flexible work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options let people choose formats that match their schedule, comfort with camera use, and how much real-time back-and-forth they want.
