About Hope
Hope Holman helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and a range of life changes. Hope is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Virginia, and she brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions.
Hope uses practical tools to help people manage symptoms and make choices that match their values. She leans on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are also part of how she supports emotion regulation and clearer decision-making. Her background includes a decade in the mental health field and service as a Navy veteran.
Hope earned both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University, and she has experience in outpatient settings, group work, in-home therapy, and support groups. She has worked with concerns across the lifespan and with many common challenges, including parenting stress, grief, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and coping with major life transitions.
Sessions are delivered with a warm, nonjudgmental tone that focuses on strengths and practical next steps. People who prefer clear tools, gentle challenge, and a collaborative plan tend to find this approach useful. Hope emphasizes small, steady steps and helps clients build skills that fit their daily life.
She invites people to begin by choosing a format that fits their schedule so they can start working toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Hope commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and feel more understood. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them against real life, which can reduce anxiety and depressive cycles. Client-centered therapy prioritizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so people can speak openly and find their own direction.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness practices to help people accept difficult feelings and act in line with their values. These methods can be helpful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and persistent worries about relationships or self-image. Hope works together with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and day-to-day needs, making adjustments as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat enables brief real-time check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Together these options help therapy fit work, caregiving, and other life demands while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
