About Hope
Hope Striving is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. They emphasize affirming, culturally responsive support for people facing identity questions, mood struggles, or major life changes. Hope aims to help clients build resilience and reconnect with what matters to them.
Hope has 16 years of clinical experience. Sessions often center on managing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. They also support people working through codependency, isolation, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or midlife change.
Their style is person-centered and trauma-informed. Hope uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope, not one-size-fits-all solutions. They focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Hope brings particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ people through identity exploration, self-acceptance, and healing from past hurt. They also help people facing chronic pain, illness, geriatric concerns, and difficulties with impulse control or obsessive behaviors.
Conversations in sessions are plain and direct. Hope listens, reflects what matters, and practices skills with each person. The goal is steady progress toward better communication, healthier boundaries, and a clearer sense of purpose.
How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Hope uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and low mood through breathing, activity planning, and structured practice. Another method focuses on building clearer communication and healthier boundaries, teaching ways to express needs and respond differently in difficult interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Hope will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. If something does not fit, they adjust the plan together so the work stays useful and realistic.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when being on camera is not ideal. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to work well at a distance and focus on skill practice, problem solving, and steady progress.
