About Hope
Hope Striving is a licensed counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. Hope offers an affirming approach and centers each conversation on the client’s identity and life experience. Sessions are designed to be straightforward and respectful, with attention to immediate concerns and next steps.
Hope’s work pays close attention to LGBTQ+ concerns, especially identity exploration and healing from trauma. The therapist also helps people who are coping with isolation, communication problems, midlife shifts, and the emotional work that follows separation or divorce.
Background and approach
Practical skills and steady support are emphasized alongside emotional processing. Hope draws on person-centered and trauma-informed methods and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. That means the focus is on what helps you feel safer, think more clearly, and act in ways that match your goals.
Sessions often involve goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what is or isn’t helping. Across 16 years of clinical experience, Hope has supported adults facing mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, chronic pain and illness, control issues, and struggles with forgiveness and life purpose. The practice aims to help people build resilience and stronger communication skills.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Hope uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. Person-centered work prioritizes the client’s own goals and values, helping people make choices that match who they want to be. Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to pacing and safety so that processing difficult material happens at a manageable rate.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try, and they adjust the plan based on progress and comfort. That means treatment is tailored to your needs rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific delivery methods are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep appointments consistent during life transitions. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only options when video isn’t convenient. Hope will work with each client to find the best format and approach for their goals and schedule.
