About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with seven years of licensure and over 16 years of work in the mental health field. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, intimacy issues, parenting pressures, and codependency among other challenges.
Hannah keeps the sessions straightforward and practical. She treats therapy as a partnership where client and counselor figure out what is and isn't working. Early steps are often small and attainable goals that build confidence and momentum.
She brings creative methods into her work, using art-based exercises to prompt reflection and new ways of expressing difficult feelings. Clients do not need art experience to use these techniques; the goal is exploration rather than artistic skill.
Hannah uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and dialectical behavior strategies. She pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior, and she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Her background includes work across many settings such as schools, community programs, in-home care, and outpatient clinics. That variety informs a pragmatic style aimed at daily life - better communication, clearer boundaries, and more consistent coping skills. To begin, visitors are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and acting in line with personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or people-pleasing get in the way of meaningful steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and communication. It is useful for intimacy problems, codependency patterns, and recurring relationship conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own pace and decisions, which helps when someone needs space to name goals and try small changes.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods and adjust as needed. That collaborative testing helps people know what works for their situation rather than assuming one single method is best.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can save travel time, make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, and allow for shorter check-ins or phone conversations when video isn't practical. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life while the clinician and client focus on clear, manageable steps for setting boundaries, improving communication, and reducing codependency patterns.
