About Hope

Hope Holman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with ten years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and a range of other life difficulties.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based, client-centered stance that emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration while helping clients identify practical strategies to manage symptoms and move toward goals. Her work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance and mindfulness-influenced approaches, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas as needed to tailor care to each person's needs.

Hope has experience across outpatient, group, and in-home settings and has worked with clients experiencing a wide spectrum of concerns from childhood through older adulthood. She aims to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore challenges, practice new skills, and build resilience at a pace that fits them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hope uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes values-based action and accepting difficult internal experiences to reduce struggle and increase meaningful engagement.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to learn about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then tailor techniques from CBT, ACT, and client-centered methods so the treatment plan fits the individual's needs rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online therapy with this practice is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different therapeutic techniques between meetings, and access support from home or elsewhere in Virginia.
