About Hannah

Hannah Phillips Hale draws on person-centered and evidence-based therapies to help clients navigate stress, mood concerns, relationship struggles, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with seven years as a licensed clinician and many additional years working across mental health settings.

Background and approach

Hannah emphasizes a collaborative, curious stance in therapy, partnering with clients to identify achievable short-term goals while also exploring longer-term change. Her practice blends practical strategies and creative exploration.

Hannah uses approaches that focus on present-moment awareness, behavioral skills, and attachment dynamics to build motivation, improve communication, and address symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and addiction. She also integrates art-based techniques to encourage discovery and expression; clients do not need prior art experience to benefit from these methods.

In sessions she prioritizes simple, actionable steps that create momentum, then expands attention to deeper patterns and relational themes as goals evolve.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed steps toward meaningful change, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured ways to identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior, often delivering concrete skills for mood regulation, stress, and certain ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early dynamics that shape how people connect, which supports work around intimacy, family problems, and communication struggles.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and immediate needs, adapting strategies over time so that sessions feel both practical and personally relevant. This allows short-term wins and deeper exploration to happen together rather than as separate phases.

Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapeutic work into everyday routines while still drawing on evidence-informed techniques and creative practices.
