Hannah Phillips Hale

Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. She brings seven years as an LPC and many more years working in mental health to each session. Hannah focuses on practical steps people can try now while also paying attention to longer-term patterns. She often uses creative techniques to help people explore feelings that are hard to name.

Hannah approaches therapy as a collaboration. She asks questions and listens closely, then offers ideas you can try between meetings. Her style emphasizes small, achievable goals first, which can build momentum for larger changes. This can feel less overwhelming than jumping straight to big fixes.

Art-based activities are part of her toolbox, but you do not need art experience to benefit. She uses simple creative exercises to help people notice patterns, process emotion, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Other methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Across her career she has worked in homes, schools, community programs, and outpatient settings. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, attention challenges, addiction, and codependency among other concerns. Hannah emphasizes the therapy process itself as a way to learn and change.

Her aim is straightforward: help people find usable steps that fit their life now, then build on those steps toward bigger goals. She invites a collaborative, curious stance in sessions and focuses on what feels most helpful in the moment.
