Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Virginia.
01About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Virginia. She brings seven years as an LPC and many more years in the mental health field to her work helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life changes. She aims for a practical, down-to-earth way of working that focuses on what can help right now.
Hannah sees therapy as a partnership. She pays attention to what’s happening in the moment and helps clients set small, achievable goals first.
Background and approach
Those early wins often build confidence to tackle bigger, longer-term concerns like grief, addiction, or complicated family dynamics. Her background includes a long history of using creative and expressive methods alongside talk therapy. She combines those tools with approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and dialectical behavior strategies.
The mix is chosen to match each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. In sessions she focuses on practical skills for coping, improving communication, and managing strong emotions. She also helps people make sense of relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and issues related to parenting or caregiving.
Hannah works with people facing matters like bipolar conditions, ADHD, intimacy struggles, and compassion fatigue. People who prefer a collaborative, steady style of counseling tend to find her approach helpful. She aims to guide discovery instead of imposing answers, and to help clients notice progress as it happens.

Approach and online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and encourages action toward personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, helping people understand and shift those patterns to improve intimacy and family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to try ACT, attachment-focused work, cognitive strategies, or a blend of methods and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, work, or other commitments while using therapeutic approaches that match the client’s goals.
