About Hannah
Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. She draws on an existential perspective that asks what matters most to each person. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small steps that build confidence and forward motion.
Hannah frames therapy as a partnership. She works side-by-side with people to identify what is and isn’t working and to set goals that feel achievable. Sessions often start with the near-term changes someone can make, then widen to address bigger patterns and life meaning.
Background and approach
She has seven years as an LPC and many more years in the mental health field before licensure. That background includes work in schools, community programs, outpatient settings, and in-home care. Hannah has spent time helping people through anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and struggles with purpose or motivation.
Her toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods. She also uses creative and expressive methods to help people explore feelings and make discoveries without needing prior art experience.
Hannah commonly supports people facing relationship and communication problems, parenting and family stress, mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood issues, addiction and coping with life changes. Her style is curious and teaching-focused, aiming to help people learn through the process rather than only seek quick fixes.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Existential Therapy invites people to consider their values, choices, and what gives life meaning; it helps when someone is wrestling with purpose, life transitions, or feelings of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports committed action toward meaningful goals for issues like anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to improve connection and communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, trying out strategies and adjusting as needs change. The therapist and client decide together which tools feel most helpful in practice and which to prioritize over time.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and deeper exercises, while phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like ACT or attachment work in flexible ways.
