Hi, I’m Hannah Larter (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering virtual therapy to adults in Virginia and Ohio. Over the past decade, I’ve enjoyed supporting clients in a variety of settings, including non-profits, schools, and outpatient therapy practices. Across all of these roles, I’ve been proud of my commitment to building strong, trusting relationships and helping people make meaningful, lasting change.
As a trauma-informed and EMDR-trained therapist, I specialize in working with adults navigating the impact of trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in self-compassion, insight-building, and practical tools that support emotional resilience and healing. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward the life you want.
As a Social Worker, social justice matters to me. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, committed to racial justice, and am an advocate for body autonomy. I believe that therapy should include and embrace your identity and lived experiences.
In my free time, you’ll likely find me watching food-centered shows (I’m a big Top Chef and Chef’s Table fan), playing—unfortunately mediocre—pickleball, or planning my next travel adventure.
You might like working with me if you find yourself:
Struggling with the impact of trauma
Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or worried
Knowing things intellectually, like you’re good enough, but not feeling like it’s true
Repeating patterns that aren’t aligned with your values or the life you want to live
Struggling to navigate relationships/attachment challenges
Beating yourself up over every little thing
Prioritizing the needs of others at the expense of your own well-being
Struggling with life transitions (break ups, moves, job changes, etc.)
In therapy with me, we often:
Use evidence-based trauma therapies, like EMDR, to reduce the distress of traumatic/painful memories
Explore the origins and protective functions of challenging or frustrating patterns you’d like to change
Update old learnings and beliefs that are no longer helpful
Do experiential work (include the mind and body) to align how you think with how you truly feel
Increase your ability to offer yourself kindness and self-compassion
Explore how early relationships impact your attachment patterns and current day relationships
Identify practical skills and exercises for you to use in your life outside of therapy to better manage difficult experiences and emotions
Identify your values and explore how to create a more values-aligned life
