About Hope

Hope Holman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia who focuses on supporting parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She brings ten years of experience in mental health and offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people trying to make changes in their lives.

Sessions aim to help people feel heard, build skills, and take practical steps forward. Hope uses straightforward, strengths-based methods that match each person’s goals and situation.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on client-centered listening to help people feel understood. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are also used to manage worry and intense emotions. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and eating or sleep problems.

Parents can get help with common parenting strains, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, and communication or boundary challenges. Hope also supports people dealing with career stress, caregiver strain, ADHD, and relationship conflict. In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable steps.

Practical tools, skill practice, and short-term goals are often part of the work. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to make lasting behavior changes. All therapy is offered in English and delivered in formats that fit busy lives.

Hope encourages small steps and steady progress, and she helps people find strategies that fit their everyday routines.

Online support

Approaches for parenting and everyday stresses online

Hope commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which is useful for parenting stress, grief, and anxiety. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems.

She pairs these with client-centered listening that emphasizes empathy and respect. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and match strategies to their goals and daily life. Clients help set priorities and try short, practical exercises between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and practice communication skills, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for parents and adults juggling work and family.
