About Hope

Hope Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered way of working. With 22 years of experience, she prioritizes building strong rapport as the foundation for progress and adapts her methods to fit each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and Client-Centered principles to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and career-related challenges.

Spencer also brings experience with adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and family of origin concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and other complex co-occurring problems.

She describes herself as a good listener who is caring, sensitive, and energetic, and she combines professional training with life experience to inform her work. Based in Mississippi, she offers help for many emotional and behavioral issues and tailors strategies to individual goals and situations.

Her practice uses an integrative stance that lets therapeutic tools be matched to the presenting issue, and she encourages a warm, often lighthearted connection to support growth and resilience.

Flexible approaches for online therapeutic work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic relationship where the client’s perspectives guide the pace and priorities of change. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore feelings, clarify values, or address interpersonal concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what fits best. Together they will review goals, preferences, and life context to adapt techniques and build a plan that feels manageable and relevant to the client’s situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These options allow scheduling around work and family commitments, provide continuity when travel or mobility are barriers, and make regular contact easier for skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver therapy tailored to each person’s needs while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
