Hope Holman

Hope Holman, LCSW, offers calm, straightforward support for people facing big life shifts. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting questions, and other changes that make daily life harder. Hope aims to make sessions feel warm and encouraging so clients can talk honestly and begin to move forward.

Hope brings ten years of experience in the mental health field and holds a Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University. She uses a strength-focused style that centers the client’s goals and values. Sessions are intended to be a place to unpack problems, learn new ways to cope, and try small changes that add up over time.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, mixed with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and build skills for handling strong emotions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when clients want to clarify goals and find their own reasons to change.

Hope has worked across a range of settings including outpatient, group, in-home services, and support groups. She has experience supporting people with trauma, domestic violence, ADHD, mood concerns, parenting challenges, and adoption or foster care issues. This background informs a flexible, compassionate way of working.

When someone is navigating loss, a breakup, career change, or shifting family roles, Hope focuses on practical steps and steady encouragement. She listens first, helps set reachable goals, and works alongside clients as they try new responses and build more satisfying routines.

How Hope’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, grief, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. It often involves practice tasks between sessions to build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own answers; this approach supports people who need a steady, empathetic space to sort things out.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hope works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and what feels doable for the client.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let someone have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow continuing work through life changes without needing to rearrange daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
