About Hannah

Hannah Phillips Hale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, present-focused methods. She draws on seven years as an LPC and many earlier years in mental health to help people tackle everyday struggles. Hannah speaks plainly and works step-by-step so parents and individuals can see real change without getting lost in jargon.

She often begins by helping people notice what matters most in relationships and emotions.

Background and approach

That makes it easier to name worries like anxiety, depression, or trauma and decide what to try first. Sessions move between short, achievable goals and deeper work on patterns that keep recurring. Hannah blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with acceptance-oriented techniques and attachment-based ideas.

She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies and a client-centered stance to match each person’s needs. This mix supports people dealing with stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, ADHD, and substance concerns. Practical coping skills are paired with chances to explore painful experiences at a comfortable pace.

Hannah helps clients sort through feelings about abandonment, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how life transitions affect mood, career, and self-esteem. Work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works with the therapist’s calendar.

Online support

Emotion and Attachment Work Delivered Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how people experience and respond to strong emotions in relationships. It helps identify recurring emotional patterns and creates space to try new ways of relating, which is useful for couples issues, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act based on personal values. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by building committed action toward meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand patterns like abandonment fears, codependency, and communication problems so they can choose different responses.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which combination of EFT, ACT, attachment work, or cognitive-behavioral tools fits best for the person and the situation.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy family schedules, work breaks, or other daily routines.
