Hope Holman

Hope Holman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who focuses on practical help for people stressed by career pressure, relationships, parenting, or big life changes. She brings ten years of experience in mental health and uses a warm, nonjudgmental approach to help people feel heard and understood.

Hope works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Conversations typically center on clear goals and small, doable steps toward feeling better.

Her counseling style is supportive and strength-based. Sessions aim to identify useful patterns, try new coping strategies, and build on what’s already working in a person’s life. She blends practical tools with space to process emotions so clients leave with concrete next steps.

Hope trained at Saint Leo University, earning both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. She has experience across settings such as outpatient care, group therapy, and in-home work, and she has supported people at many life stages.

People who choose to work with her can expect an encouraging partner in making changes. She invites clients to set the pace and focus on meaningful goals, whether that means improving communication, managing stress, or navigating major transitions.

How her approaches guide online work

Hope often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on finding unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how you feel and function. Client-Centered Therapy offers an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and goals.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness tools to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward valued action. These approaches are practical and can be used together to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and career-related strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hope will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is supported for scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - it often lets people check in between work tasks, avoid travel time, or pick a shorter session when needed.
