About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. She blends practical, down-to-earth therapy with creative tools to help people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Hannah speaks plainly and focuses on small, reachable goals that build momentum over time.
She uses a partnership model in sessions. Clients and Hannah look at what is working and what is not, then set clear short-term goals. That steady, step-by-step approach often opens the door to larger changes later on.
Background and approach
Hannah draws from a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-informed thinking, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered care. She also incorporates expressive and art-based methods when they fit the client's needs and interests. Over seven years as an LPC have shaped a flexible style that adapts to different situations.
Hannah has experience across in-home, outpatient, school, and community program settings. She helps people facing trauma, grief, low self-esteem, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD, and other complex concerns. Her sessions aim to make therapy understandable and useful from the first visit.
Hannah emphasizes the process of discovering what helps, so clients gain tools they can use in everyday life. She encourages curiosity, practical steps, and steady progress toward the goals people care about.

Approach driven care delivered online
Hannah commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with personal values, and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that feed anger or anxiety and replacing them with more useful strategies.She views finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together until it fits the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide when to use acceptance strategies, cognitive tools, attachment ideas, or expressive exercises like art-based techniques.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or when typing feels simpler than talking. These options help therapy fit around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
