About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with seven years as an LPC and over sixteen years working in the mental health field. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addictions, grief, parenting, ADHD, and related issues. She says she works collaboratively, using present-focused, simple steps first and then addressing bigger goals over time.
Hannah emphasizes a partnership model in sessions. She describes the relationship as collaborative - both people decide what’s working and what to try next. She favors practical, achievable goals early on to build momentum and confidence before tackling larger challenges.
Creative and expressive methods are part of her approach. She uses art therapy techniques to encourage exploration and discovery, and notes that no artistic skill is required to benefit from these methods. She blends expressive work with conversational therapies to help people notice patterns and try new strategies.
Her clinical methods also include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She integrates mindfulness and problem-focused tools to address symptoms and daily functioning. Sessions may touch on family dynamics, attachment, and caregiver stress when relevant to the client's goals.
Hannah has worked across many settings including in-home, outpatient clinics, schools, and community programs. Her background includes experience with pregnant parents, infants, children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in varied roles. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Hannah often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with change because it focuses on actions in daily life.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or communication by identifying relationship patterns and trying new interaction habits.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work as well, which centers the client's experience and supports self-guided problem solving. It pairs well with practical tools from CBT and DBT when skill-building is needed.
Deciding which approach fits is collaborative. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that make sense together. Changes are made based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
